irritation + reframe = gratitude

So I’m seeing this annoying trip in a different light. I got here fine (yay!), Alex drove without wrecking, happy reunion, etc.

So, given the nasty weather yesterday, one perspective is that it was fortuitous that I got stranded. I wasn’t hurt, Alex wasn’t hurt, I wasn’t permanently stuck anywhere, I didn’t have to spend a night in the airport (ick; I’ve done it before), and now we’re together and healthy and happy and sane. and all it cost was 1 day and $90 or so (the food wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be).

Oh, and one pair of pants, but in fairness to the pants, I was jumping a fence at the time, and my butt got too close to the top of the chain link. Oh well. They were old.
