I’ve been preoccupied with a work situation today which is really preying on my mind. It will probably blow over and be forgotten quickly but feels major at the moment. I wish I were stronger-minded and could push these intrusive troubled thoughts aside, but I rarely can.
I recently had a little lesson in priorities, however. I had a pretty severe health scare and spent a couple of days anxiously awaiting test result. During that time, I found, nothing else could shake me: all that mattered was that lab report. I barely batted an eye when I dropped my phone in the toilet!
It shouldn’t take worrying about alarming lab results to get one’s priorities straight, but I guess sometimes it helps.
