Although, my dear readers, I have been telling you to take back control of your lives as I am trying to do, sometimes you need to take a back seat to what life has in store for you. Sometimes that is more literal then figurative. Like right this moment for example. I a, writing to you all from the back seat of a cab. Why you may ask? Because this morning life did not want me to be driving for some reason. Instead life wanted to kill my car battery, then fry a circuit while trying to jump said battery, leading me to where I am now. Perhaps life wanted me to take a mental health day. Sad to say but instead of listening to what life wanted me to do I called a cab. Actually it is nice to be driven around once I get over the initial car sickness that cabs give me. Is it just me or are cab drivers a special bread of bad drivers? That's off topic.
What I am trying to tell you is although we want to be able to control everything sometimes you have to let go and just make the best of what you are given. I'm not saying that when life gives you lemons make lemonade, I'm saying to take Ron White's advice and when life gives you lemons and laughs at you, find someone with vodka and laugh right back at life. So I guess the real message is to not let the things that your can't control get you down. Shit is going to go wrong some days, and it is how you handle yourself that really affects the rest of your day. I could let the fact that I spent $40.00 to get to work today make me mad and cause me to have a bad day, but that would mean that life won. And I refuse to admit defeat. Instead I am choosing to enjoy the fact that I was driven to work and look forward to my boyfriend picking me up at the end of the day.
Every once in a while it is nice to enjoy the view from the back seat. So just sit back, relax, and just enjoy the ride.
Until next time. Xoxo Rachel
