Day 330: Shit Happens


It's Day 330... I've been doing this, everyday, for the past 330 days and, still, there are still these days when I'd rather not share what's on my mind... Well, because I have 35 days left until day 365, I am going to try to take advantage of the fact that day 330 will never come back...
If you've ever watched, or read "The Secret" you should have some insight on the power of the mind. This morning, I woke up early to get ready for an early appointment. Armen and I were supposed to go together and we had to make it there at a certain time. Having left the house on time, we decided to stop by Starbucks for some coffee... which took a bit longer than normal... As we headed toward our destination, hoping we wouldn't be late, and driving a bit faster than normal to make it on time, we were pulled over by a cop... we did get a speeding ticket... Then, again, we tried to get back on the road to our destination. We both felt irritated and couldn't help but change our moods by now... and as we, finally, pulled into the parking lot, guess what was the delay then?... The ticket machine that was supposed to let us into the parking lot ran out of tickets! The car in front of us had pulled out the last one and, now, we were sitting there, with a ticket machine that kept blinking, "Please Wait" while 10 or more cars piled up behind us, honking at us as if we were the ticket machine inventors... and the only thing we could think of that moment was to laugh at our situation. Having been so eager to get somewhere on time had never turned out this way and, now, we looked at each other and couldn't stop laughing as we sipped on our coffee and thought, "Oh, well... shit happens!" Laughing about it was the only way we could shift our faith in the day because this day will never come back...

Tip of the Day: The brighter your outlook is on your day, the better it will turn out.
