I am trying to stay positive and I m
beginning to wonder if staying positive regardless of the trials and
tribulations is the key, the lesson of life—or at least one of the
lessons. A couple of days ago I was up early and dressed and headed
out the door to my days activities before anyone else in the house
was up.
As I headed out of the house my chair
started making a terrible noise—typical, but the chair continued to
roll and I carried on. I could not imagine where the noise was coming
from but on my return home at the end of my day Dianne and Rebecca
checked out the chair and immediately found the problem—the noise
was coming from a failed bearing in the front left castor. I really
should have been on top of this since I had the exact same problem a
month or so ago when the same ting happened. I got the problem fixed
with used equipment and I should have ordered in the new equipment
and got the problem taken care of. I dropped the ball and I am now
paying the consequences.
There was a time this event would have
crushed my day and spirit having to change my plans correct the
problem. But, I did not have the negative this event however. I made
the calls, found the information needed and set out to get the item
fixed and I did it. The repair cost, probably more the $100.00 but I
am fixed now and back on the road and the impact on my life was
minimal, Smile, take a deep breath and keep on moving forward.
The season of change is now moving over
my world—Equinox is still a month off but the seasons are changing
and the flux is everywhere. Yesterday there was sunshine, snow and
rain as the day wondered through my reality. We got caught in a
fairly significant snow storm—not really-- huge wet flaked falling,
blowing sidewise from time to time and just kind of miserable being
out in it...if I let it be miserable—however, I chose to let the
outing be fun and enjoyed the time out with Dianne and even if the
cold and snow was uncomfortable especially when snow lumps would find
their way down my neck—I knew soon I would be out of the element
and with the passing of this day one day closer to Spring. I have
noted over the years that during the time of Equinox I have to or
can expect visit from all four seasons.
So armed with a repaired chair I charge
forward today and am looking forward to riding the bus, train and
working out on the Saratoga Silver. But most of all being alive and
out in the world.
