Coffee with John #53
Holy crap! That’s how my day leading to Coffee with John #53 started.
I had woken up feeling dandy, outlining in my mind the rest of the day. I had just gotten out of the shower and I was ready to tackle the morning. I went to look at my phone to find a message reading something like “running late for our coffee meeting. Should be there shortly.”
Holy crap! I had completely forgotten about the meeting, which we had scheduled almost a month in advance and which had been on the works since I began Coffee with John almost a year ago.
So holy crap I had to hustle to make it. Luckily, I called to let them know of my mishap and we worked things out. We had a great meet up and conversation.
But that whole day was just a series of holy crap! I went the whole day commiting a series of forgetful infractions. I can’t even remember but just to give you an example I had forgotten that I had turned the burner on but, luckily, I had turned the wrong one on where I had placed milk to boil. So it went the whole day just like that. All I know is that fortunately I don’t operate heavy machinery for work or else someone might have lost a finger or worse.
The takeaway from the meeting and that eventful day is to be flexible with yourself as somedays things will just not go as planned.
We could have mutually gotten upset and canceled the meet up as we were both running late. I could have beaten myself for not being more attentive to my surroundings or more organized in my planning.
In those situations, you have to take ownership, laugh at yourself and go with the flow.
