I’m not one to get upset in traffic. I avoid busy streets whenever I can. I take the long way to get there, if no one objects. And I generally am very relaxed in the car–even when others might be flipping me off (It happens). But because I don’t always drive in heavy traffic, I forget how slow it can be and don’t always time myself accordingly. Thus, I was late to one of my own recent book signings. When I realized I was going to be late, I did get a bit antsy behind the wheel. When it was clear there was no way around it, I phoned ahead and then was able to relax and just drive. In my mind, there was nothing else to do. Like you, Beth, I wanted to arrive upbeat, not perplexed. I wanted the event to be fun. So that’s what I did. And it was fun. It wasn’t about thinking good thoughts. It was merely about putting my attention on the reality of the situation and making the best out of it. That meant there was action on my part, not just good thoughts.

Thanks for making this distinction. It’s a good one.

Thanks for this post. It’s a good reminder to let go of the things we can’t control, relax and recognize what we need to learn for the next time. Debbie
