I shall tell you what i have learned these past few days on my travels. I will start by saying I have been reading a book called "Practicing peace in times Of war" I was reading this in the airport the day the universe changed my plans. First my flights back home were canceled so I had to change airlines to even maybe get home. I decided to treat myself to a lovely breakfast I proceeded to have a lovely conversation with a nice person sitting at a table next to me as we ate. She left as i was going to pay my waitress tells me that the lovely women who I was talking to paid my bill. that was a wonderful thing to have happen and i wish her well in her life as meeting her was awesome. Then I had lovely friends to keep me company in the airport via Phone and text and facebook. My flight got delayed and i was going to be stuck with the chance of also being stuck there tonight. I was talking to my dad who lives 2 hours from Sacramento and he says to me " Get a hotel and I will come pick you up in the morning. Its a long day of driving for him but he did it. I was talking to him on the way home and thanking him, this is a man who we have fought much in my adult life and things were not great between us but here he shows up. He says to me "I am happy to pick you up ,you are my son, you stair adversity in the face everyday and laugh at it and I am proud of you"
I am home now and wanted to write this down. Normally I would get stressed and angry at these situations of changing plans and worried about what to do next. but what I continue to learn is your outlook determines your experience. I am grateful for good reading, good friends, good lessons,adversity and my dad.
