We recently experienced a day when little went our way. So many things went sideways – it went from “what is going on” to amusing very quickly.
The one nice thing that happened, though, was that none of us lost perspective. So we kept exploring options at every obstacle and attempted to make the most of the circumstances. The mood was upbeat throughout.
In the final analysis, it wasn’t the kind of day we’d call “great.” It couldn’t be. Far too many things had gone wrong.
But, despite the problems, we made something of it.
It reminded us that there are so many circumstances that are out of our control. It also reminded us that we can control our response to them. And that we can make that response constructive – if we choose to do so.
Maybe it was a great day after all.
