Live Long and Prosper

Well, today was not that successful of a day in general. I really think that I blew it because I had many chances to do one thing and I let my emotions get the best of me. I know that this is going to reveal me as a huge sci-fi geek, but sometimes I wish that I was Vulcan. Oh how I envy Spock and his ability to keep those pesky emotions from blinding him to the logic of the situation, but alas I am not a pointy eared alien and the world of Star Trek is not real.

I wish that I was better at not getting so frustrated with things or when I do, go about handling that frustration in a better way. I suppose that in part, that is why I started trying to do this one thing a day thing. By just doing one thing, I was trying to circumvent some of that frustration.

Anyway, as I said today was not a great day. All those thing that are not working well for me just seemed to come crashing down on my head. I was snippy with people, angry in general, and when I was driving in the car I was not the most courteous of drivers and had the mouth of a longshoreman behind the wheel. Yikes! It really didn't do me much good physically. I had an intense headache, tense shoulders, and my blood pressure was sky high.

I suppose that if there is any success in this day it is that I have at least taken some time out to evaluate my behavior today and really think about how it affects me. It also really illustrates how much I need to actually do this one thing.
