Some days just flow so well, and then something happens that kind of makes you go "huhhhh, well that wasn't expected." But as always, how you react to a situation, determines how the rest of the day will go.
I used to be a bit of a hot head, actually, if you had to ask my dad and stepmom, and even my siblings, they would tell you that when I was a teenager, I was a "fly off the handle, dramatic, lazy girl". I don't take it to heart, or find it offensive, it's the truth. May not be something pretty to hear, and it's actually so completely far off who I am now and have been for the past twenty years, but back then that is pretty accurate.
If something went wrong, I stomped my feet and reacted immediately, yelling, or crying, or acting like it was the end of the world. LOL In other words, a true teenager, right?
Over the years, and especially after I got married, I quickly realized that things weren't always so outlandish and needing an over dramatic reaction, and that the best way to deal with every situation that is thrown our way, no matter what it is, is to just stop, think, relax and go with the flow.
Today was a perfect example of that.
See, I started off the morning with a drive to the commissary for some last minute bits for Easter, and as I was driving down the country road, watching the green fields flanking each side of the car, the tons of cows feeding and the bright sun shining above, I found myself smiling from ear to ear. It was one of those moments of true contentment.
