As I “plug in” at the Ft.Lauderdale airport after a cancelled flight and now delayed (rebooked) flight, I reflect. This is one of those times where you want to be angered. For what? Will it matter tomorrow? I wanted so bad to cry, scream, sleep, crawl up into a little ball. For what? As I listened to everybody around me complain, tell me their story and pretty much dis Air Canada, I told jokes. These are the times in life I am utilizing my vertical thinking. Something I learned at an incredible training within my first 2 weeks at Starbucks Canada. Yes, I am worried about my dog who has to stay 2 extra nights at the doggie hotel. Yes, I am worried about what my new employer will think when I call and say I will be completely late (if I can even make it in at all). Yes I got next to zero sleep. Yes, yes and yes. I still am. This it’s. I am. Molly is happier than happy, Starbucks understands and well, Air Canada had an unintentional glitch. I am.

Let’s not nitpick about the little things that a person is doing wrong. Find the good. #STStrengths #itsallBS #learnsharegrowBStrong (at STStrengths)

Can you call yourself an artist if you're not all analytical and knowledgeable? What if I paint because I feel like it and not to convey some message? I sort of envy artists that feel worthy of the title and carry a superior air because, after all, they are the multi-talented ones. Not only do they make something pretty to look at but also ingrain meaning and deep emotion within the paints layers. The mere mortal may try and decipher such artistry but you might as well analyze a fire hydrant.
