Dammit

Another forced work-from-home day, with frustration and stress. Yup, Olivia didn't want to get going this morning. After 3 hours I gave up.

So here I am - thankful my laptop comes home with me every day. I've got more than enough to do! But it gets to me when I can't turn up as planned, when I miss meetings and appointments.

Yet...

I've realized everything happens for a reason. Even the seemingly bad stuff. I can't see the really big picture, stuck as I am at this surface-level. But there's a reason she didn't go this morning. Perhaps it was to avoid an accident, or to teach me some golden lesson, or simply because this is the way it needs to be today. I don't know. But accepting there's a reason behind everything makes it a lot easier to deal with.

So that's how I choose to see it.

Even if there are occasions where I end up kicking tyres in annoyance.
