I arrived at the ice rink at 6:00 a.m. this morning as usual and when I got out of the car, I realized that I forgot my ice skates......my edge. I can't just turn around and go get them. I live 45 minutes away and I have other errands to run afterward.
Fortunately I brought my laptop with me because I thought I might have a few moments between appointments today to do some work. Let's just say that I am getting a LOT of work done because I have 3 hours to kill until my next appointment.
Thank God for McDonald's and free wi-fi. Don't worry - I'm not getting any unhealthy foods here. It would be useless to exercise like I do and then eat a sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin. But they do have good coffee.
I am feeling the best I have felt in years since I've begun living on the edge. I've adjusted my eating, my schedule and yes, even my thinking. The more I commit to this, the more it affects every single area of my life.
I will now have to go to the gym today to get my exercise in and rearrange my whole day. There was a day when forgetting my skates would have totally messed up my day. I would have been down and sad because I couldn't do what I intended to do. But I've been working so hard on changing my mentality about life in general, that I quickly adjusted my attitude and came up with a good plan B.
There will be days when we just don't have our edge. Life is busy, complicated and easily interrupted. Don't worry. Re-adjust yourself and move ahead. One thing is for sure, I will probably never forget my skates again.
