Super duper stressed out, but... Insanely stressful day today and its only midday. From the moment I woke up, the dog is going crazy, the baby is going crazy, they didnt want to eat their breakfast, and insist on harassing one another... and me. A full container of marinara sauce fell out of the fridge and exploded all over the kitchen floor. My car is making an awful noise which sounds expensive. I needed to pick up important papers for a time sensitive matter, only to find the office with the papers is closed. I found myself stressing out hardcore, being short and cranky on the phone with my wife who was only trying to help, and grinding my teeth and shaking my head at every other car on the road. Traffic slowed to a near stop on Hempstead Turnpike... Of course it did, I was in a rush to get somewhere. I found myself inventing new curse words in my head for the person responsible for the delay. When I got to the front of the traffic jam, I saw an old car, a 1967 Oldsmobile, stuck in the middle of the road with a guy trying to push it all by himself. Old cars always remind me of my dad, he was an old car fanatic. Then I thought about what my dad would do, no matter how stressed out he might have been. I pulled over, put my hazards on, got out and gave the guy a hand. Then told him, with a wink, that a Prius wouldve been easier to push. He chuckled at my sarcasm, and so did I. His gratitude and the help of another Good Samaritan somehow lightened my days burden and lifted my spirits. My next stop was the barber shop, I have a wedding tonight, and in my oodles of free time today, I needed a haircut. When I got there, I saw one of my black belts just finishing up with his haircut. The kid always helps me out, and never hesitates when the dojo is in need of help too. I paid for his haircut and my own. Thank God I had just enough cash on me (I didnt even check my wallet before I offered to pay for him.) While I still have more to do, Ive used this waiting room to kill some time and share my mornings experiences, then Im off to finish todays to-do list. Helping others always makes me feel better. Next time youre freaking out, give it a try. Im gonna try to remember to do the same. Happy Crazy Friday Everyone. Train Hard!!!
