The morning of Day 37, and when the mail arrived, I walked into our hallway to see an envelope with one of those windows on it. Inside I could see RED paper. My heart immediately started pounding. Did I forget to pay a bill???? Red means final notice, doesn't it? WTH????
Fortunately, I was able to get control of my thoughts. I turned around, took a deep breath, and did some pivoting. What would it look like if I got cheques through the mail? I immediately started to visualize cheques pouring through the mail slot. I saw myself opening the envelopes, pulling out the cheques, and seeing the figures on them. Boy, that felt better! I must admit, I was proud of myself for taking a fearful moment and turning it into a happy one.
After I got myself into a better-feeling place, I turned back around, picked up the envelope and opened it. It was a voter registration card, confirming our details. I guess the red was to let us know it was an important document, but sheesh, I could have done without that heart pounding.
However, being a "glass is half full" kinda gal, I felt appreciation for the moment, because it gave me a chance to test and practise my pivoting skills.
Remember, it's not which way the wind is blowing, but if you are able to adjust your sails.
Now, who said that?
