Love the Lay-Over!
My visit with my granddaughters in Budapest, Hungary was simply delightful.
Even though it was sad to say good-bye, the drive to the airport was filled with stories and laughter and pink explosions from bubble gum.
It was a shock to find out that, because of a flight delay, I would have to fly to Zurich, Switzerland, spend the night, have another four hour lay over in Germany and finally catch the plane to Boston.
I had no control over the fact that I could not get home in time to “do” everything that was waiting for me.
I would have to spend an unexpected twenty-four hour lay-over in a strange place with nothing to do but “be”.
Hummm….What a way to learn the lessons I want to teach you!
We are really good at “Human Doing” and need practice at “Human Being”!
Indeed, I did the best I could. NOTHING! I selfishly indulged myself, without feeling guilty.
I made the lay-over fun by changing my disappointment to an attitude of loving gratitude and took myself out to dinner.
If you can’t change the circumstances around you, change your attitude of mind. Create your own “Lay-Over”, find a new way to make it fun and take your lovely self out on a date!
Smiles, Gena
