I am really glad I am the type of person who can brush things off.
Yesterday while walking to work, I totally tripped and fell on the sidewalk. Busted up my poor knee, ripped my tights and made several construction workers fall out laughing. I hobbled my way back to my car, called my supervisor and let her know there was no way I was going to make it up 8 flights up stairs (we know I don’t do elevators) and went home. Flopped on the couch feeling sorry for myself, and then something great happened….I started laughing.
There are bigger things in the world to get upset over and a ruined pair of tights is not one of them!!
Oh goodness, girl. You've GOT to laugh at yourself. I know it probably hurt your pride a little (and of course your poor little knees!), but I think it shows true character when you can shrug things like that away and save the meltdowns for the big stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love the mental image of you sitting on the couch feeling all sad, and just busting up laughing all the sudden. So cute. ;-)
I love this post. It really puts things into perspective. I know I've found myself getting upset over the smallest or most insignificant things. But like you said, those small things are nothing when you put it all in perspective.

welome to my life! i am always falling, tripping, banging into walls...one time in high school i was walking in the halls and i was going down a slight downgrade when i tumbled forward, tripped and fell. completely ate shit! when the cute boy nearby asked if i was okay, i yelled "SHUT UP!" and walked away. ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you can laugh at yourself. we've all had those embarrassing moments. i trip, run into walls and screamed bloody murder once when a squirrel jumped out of the bushes and scared me. plus the bright side is you got a day off!
ReplyDeleteawwww, poor you! you've got to be able to laugh at yourself though...but hope you're feeling better?
