My friend forgot our coffee date, and instead of frustration I chose gratitude: time back for myself. If you ever get that gift, don’t let work steal it. Keep it personal.
This morning I was supposed to have coffee with a girlfriend and she forgot, but real talk instead of being upset, I'm calling it a gift. It's a gift of some of my time back. I had a list of a bunch of little things that were for me that I needed to do, but I didn't know where to put them. So like, yeah, a lot of caregivers and workaholics have got plenty of things that could fill that space. But since it was going to be personal time, I am keeping it as personal time. So today, I'm using it for something that fuels me, not just sliding back into work.
Sometimes the best gift is unexpected time.
