"THE ROOT OF ALL SUFFERING IS ATTACHMENT." ~ Buddah
Today was my day off. I was looking forward to it all week. With no clients scheduled, no networking meetings, and no hours needed from me at the Spa desk, I was free to self-indulge. And oh boy was I excited! I had an vision in my head...an outline if you will, of how I was planning out my day.
A quiet morning of coffee & Pilates, then off to the tattoo shop for some spontaneous fresh ink, and an afternoon with a fellow soul sister. I was ready for R&R with a side of sass! 
My quiet morning alone, quickly turned into puppy madness when a good friend was in need of a dog sitter for a couple of hours. The tattoo artist was due in at 12:30pm...but did not show up until 2pm. After two hours of waiting, and being told "any minute now", I finally walked out. My afternoon of bonding, turned into a party of 1, when my girlfriend's morning commitment ran late. And so, here I sit...solo and tattoo-less. LOL But..laughing! I must laugh. And I must remember, as quickly as I wish to label this a "bad day," it isn't. Nothing tragic occurred. Not even a little bit.
What has happened though, is that I grew an attachment to a made-up idea of how today was "suppose" to go. Something I have not done in a while. I used to be the queen of planning, but over the years I have morphed into much more of a "roll with it" kinda gal. I find that watching my day unfold exactly how it unfolds, is a gift. Trying to control my minutes spent on Earth gets exhausting. However, today, I most ceretaintly lost my free-flowing way about me, and truly swam against the current as this particular day "didn't go right."
Welllllll, cheers. Raising my glass of Kombuccha and saying, "Here's to tonight! Let's see what happens!"
And THAT is how you handle a bad day...by realizing, it's just an illusion.
RELEASE & FLOW.
