A Wren Says

I rushed out of the house to try and get an appointment done before work. I sat patiently trying to figure why my name hadn’t been called. 40 minutes went by. I headed back to my car to do some digging and only to discover I was at the wrong location. After a long week of not getting enough sleep and being exhausted, that was the final straw. Well, it would have been. I didn’t let that happen. I asked instead, “What good could potentially come of this?”

I made a mistake that had cost me, but I no longer want to descend into the negative self-talk spiral. Instead, I am working to rewire my brain and shift how I view the world. I am already very good at picking out the problems and issues and general negativity. I need further training in how to see the bright side.

I choose to embrace this moment, even though I am frustrated, with gratitude and grace. For starters, I got to make a mistake, which I resolved to do more often this year. I learned a lesson in checking details before acting. Those are good things by themselves, but I imagine there is even more good that will come of this moment and all the challenges of my life.
