Last night no chairs for the concert. No big deal. Went without them and had an even better time than if we had them. This morning ordered my dad a new computer online and put myself down as the on to pick it up. Go to the apple store in Albany and the store guy asks for my license. Open my wallet and realize I left it in the wristlet I took to the concert last night. Still ok. They let me have the computer with all my other forms of ID.
Arrive home this afternoon and settle down to watch my girl Vika play in the semi-finals of the US Open. Oh! I should get that license out of the wristlet and put it back in my wallet before I get too involved in the tennis and forget. Open the wristlet. No license. I realize I must’ve lost it at the concert last night. Normally I would break out into a cold sweat and frantically start trying to figure out what to hurry and do next. Not today. I made a cup of soup and sat down and watched the tennis. In between sets I called the venue (no one turned it in yet). Finished my soup and watched another set. Then search the DMV online to find out how to replace a lost license. Found out its an enhanced license so I have to replace it in person. I have to go there Monday morning before going back to the cape. I’m amazed none of this upset me. Normally something like this would have me calling my husband and wringing my hands. Agh. I’m just glad I lost it while here in NY and can replace it before I leave.
Life really is too short to spend time time sweating, wringing my hands, and complaining about inconveniences. Yes, I wanted to leave bright and early on Monday. The last place I want to go is the DMV on my way out of town, but you know what? I’m going to finish this post, watch Serena in the next semi-final, and go to visit my sister tonight and enjoy my pizza and wine and her company.
And so, as another day goes by, life is about more than forgotten chairs, lost licenses, and the many problems and inconveniences that our days throw at us, and…I have written.
PS- I just remembered I wrote about Victoria Azarenka last year when I saw her on Ellen. I remember it being a very inspirational interview, so I looked up my post. After reading it again, I think you might like it too. Finding That Power Within
