Spilled coffee? Perfect opportunity? YES!

Ok, so you're running late and you're in such a hurry you spill your coffee all over your lap. You rush back into the house to change and then you're running even later to work so you're speeding along and you get pulled over. You get a $150 ticket and you are pounding your fists against your steering wheel in frustration. Could one more thing go wrong? Oh yeah, you could keep this momentum up all day. However, there is a choice, and the reason I used this particular example is because this very scenario happened to me just this last week. However, my result was very different.

I was walking out to my car to go to work and someone had just sent me a text reading, "make it a great day" and I responded, "nothing can keep me from it". I put my phone in my pocket and got in my car. I had my hands full, so I held my coffee cup between my arm and my chest and when I bent over to set my purse down, I poured about 75% of my coffee into my lap. I just had to laugh and I said aloud, "Not even this", after an expletive of course.

I thought to myself this is absolutely perfect! It's the perfect opportunity to prove that nothing can keep me from making this a great day.
