The flat tire

I was all set to go to a women's retreat with other eight women.  My ex-husband had the kids, I had people covering all of my clients, the house was pretty clean and my neighbor was taking care of the cats.  I thought I had it all together.  I dropped off my billing notes at work and was all set to go when I went to the garage and I heard this sound - I was like what is that - I checked it was the left rear tire with quite a fast leak.  I thought what to do - well if I can get out to Perfection Tire within the next 10 minutes there will still be enough air in the tire to be able to drive it which is what I did.  I then went to Starbucks coffee to wait for my neighbor to give me a ride home which she kindly did.  Needless to say I will not be going on the retreat today but I will head out tomorrow.  I then got to thinking o.k. I am a little delayed - my house didn't get swept away in a tidal wave, I am not in a war zone and my children and I are healthy.  It is so easy to focus on what is wrong instead of what is working well which is many things so here I am writing.  If I hadn't gotten the flat tire I wouldn't have written this blog.
