Floating like a leaf!

So it's definitely chilly outside, and things are changing. There are definitely a lot of colors and falling leaves. Recently I had a day where I was feeling pretty tense and maybe a little down. I left work and on my way home I stopped to fill my car up with gas. As I pulled the nozzle out, I failed to see that the lever was stuck and I sprayed gasoline over my clothes. All the rest of the drive home, I smelled like gasoline, and was pretty upset about it. As I was driving I made a choice to turn my day around. I took a few deep breaths and imagined all the tension leaving me and peace settling in. All the sudden, I felt as though I had just awoken from "bad day" dream. I realized the sculpted mountains, and the colorful leaves blowing through the air, and it was quiet. It was beautiful. I realized it wasn't all that bad. I could just let those bad parts of my day float away like the leaves blowing before me in the wind. I kept that mind set for the rest of the week, and every bad part floated away like the leaves. I felt more hopeful, to accomplish my goals. In fact I had an experience this morning where I was stressed to the max and rushing to get out of the house because I thought I was late to church. I walked outside and got in my car and realized that I was actually leaving an hour early. I started to laugh, even though for many reasons I could be angry at myself, I realized how silly I had been for no reason. I was reminded of the day I observed the floating leaves and the beautiful scenery of the season. Again, I made the choice that my day was going to be okay, and it was!
