What the &#%* !

Yesterday was one of the toughest days I've had at work in a very long time. Every challenge that could present itself did. It was beyond long, with over 2 hours of bumper to bumper freeway time to get home. Walked in the door and collapsed.

This morning I'm raring to go. On my way to the gym & spin class. I'm bettin those of you reading my blog are thinkin "What the &#%*?? Doesn't this woman do anything but spin?" Well, I do. Lift on Mon. & Fri, spin on Tues., Thurs. Run or ride outside on Sat/Sun.(just some clarification if you're curious)... O.K. I get to class, my HR is right where I want it and I peddle away. Ran on the treadmill for 2 miles, stretched and core. Same o', but I like it & it works for me. At least I'm consistant!

I get ready for work, feeling pretty 'snappy' and head out the door. I see the guy with the leaf blower. Da da...Da da Da da... (Jaws music). Young guy, wearing an iPod. His back was turned to me and I was a good 5 feet away, but as I went by, he did a 180 and blew the biggest pile of Jacaranda flowers directly at me! What the &#%*?? Jacaranda trees are beautiful but a little messy...drop tons of flowers. I was wearing all black, and I was covered!! After such a long day yesterday and such a good morning today, all I could do was laugh. It was pretty funny...the stuff you'd see in a movie. This poor guy was shaking and all he could get out was "I sorry lady". No matter how much I tried to tell him it was O.K., he was petrified. I walked back into the gym to the roar of these gals laughing. Glad I could make everyone's day! Picked the flowers out of my hair, brushed off, waived once more to that poor fella and drove to work.

Made me think how many times I'm going there... to the What the &#%*?? place. My attitude is in constant need of adjustment and the older I get, the happier I am to do it. It makes life so much easier. I haven't always been this way. Maybe it's maturity...a sense of humor about myself...or just plain life that makes me realize letting that attitude go, will make things a whole lot sweeter. I think there's a little bit of this in all of us. I'm thinkin...how come it took so long to get to this place? What the &#%*??

That's o.k., as long as I'm here!

Live passionately!
