One of my tires suddenly went flat this morning. Totally out. Don't know how this came about. Now the car is in the shop to change all four tires since its about time for new tires anyway. No point in patching up one now and then changing it again real soon. So...I woke up $400 lighter.

But I'm not gonna let this get to me. Wanna learn to relax and not let things get to my mood so easily. Wanna try to think more on the brighter side of things. For example, I don't know what happened to the tire. One theory is I may have ran over a nail or something lastnight. Thinking on the darker side would be: Damn, $400 down the drain! Why were there nails on the road?! Why me?! Thinking on the brighter side: Wow, what if the tire had popped on me lastnight when I was driving on the freeway at 70-80 miles per hour. The result may have been deadly. Fortunately that didn't happen. I was safe and sound and sleeping peacefully on my bed while the car was parked outside and the air in the tire slowly let out through the night. And now I'm alive and well blogging about it. Yes, this is a better way to think.

Now what if tomorrow I won't wake up $400 lighter but 4lbs lighter? That would be awesome!!!
