So back to work after two weeks off to catching up on hundreds of emails. Great to see friends again. At the end of the day, setting out from work a bit later than normal, I knew I was risking more traffic, but this? Are you kidding!? My normal 1 hour commute was going to easily be 1.5 hours if not more. My ’Complaining’ quickly began. Oh, the look I gave the guy who just blatantly cut me off and made me miss the light. RRRGHHHH! ‘Criticizing’ his poor driving decision doesn’t even begin to express what was on my mind at this point. Time for some choices and sailing a few C’s. ‘Stop, Drop, and Be’…take a deep breath. ‘Acceptance’ or more futile efforts at ‘Controlling’ the uncontrollable? ’Being Positive and Playful’ or more ‘Complaining’ bringing me down? ‘Kindness and Compassion’ or more ‘Criticizing’? I think, maybe he has a sick wife at home he is hurrying home to help her? Naaah! No matter, choice is made. Crank up the tune, some absolutely awesome Bob Seger! Can’t beat it, singing and dancing in my seat, looking like a fool. Now, that’s what I’m talking about. Walking into my beautiful wife and 5 year old son cooking something that smells divine. Yeehaw! It’s all a series of choices in how we respond. What’s yours?
