We experience those days. You start well by the coffee machine does not work. You skip that and go for a run only to have a calf seize up. You limp home and remain steadfast to continue with the day. Soon you discover the dog chewed up your checkbook while you were out. You go online to access banking only to find you have no access. After an online chat and telephone support, or lack thereof, to no avail,l you are now blocked.
It happens. Yet it too will pass. Importantly it is not you, and no need to fret. When all else fails, why not just have cake or ice cream and enjoy the moment? There is little of such magnitude and permanence that it deserves our dedicated concern nor approval to get upset.
In situations like these, all we can ask is ‘what I have control over.’ Those elements, let’s calmly take them on. If it becomes frustrating, on occasion, time is a pleasing anecdote. And so is cake. Let it be.
