“Those” Days

By Rachael Markovic

Ever wake up one morning and without any reason everything goes wrong.
The GPS takes you down the wrong route.
You get caught in a bad traffic jam.
Late because you’re still trying to figure out directions on your own and it’s not even noon.
Now this is waking up with what I like to call, “a rough start.”

But that’s all it is or at least can be depending on how you perceive it.
You can look at it as bad karma or don’t let it hold you back.
Pouting and stressing about it isn’t going to make everything better.
It’s only going to make you more frustrated.
Telling yourself that what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger can definitely make things easier.  Sometimes it’s just as simple as taking a deep breathe.
At the end of the day all you have left to do is use this experience and learn from it.
