We had our fair share of frustration today. Turns out we owe a chunk of money to the IRS for taxes. WTF. Prior to this unfortunate news, I was busy counting my chickens before they hatch, planning to spend our (now non-existent) tax returns on an anniversary trip or a down payment on a new car. Grrr. I felt like curling up in a ball and not leaving the couch, but instead I'm focusing my energy on being grateful for what we do have. I'm trying to see this as a life lesson: Besides the whole counting my chickens business, I also realize that I can make a conscious (albeit somewhat challenging) decision to change my perspective. It's helping. And so are all these flowers blooming outside our house. They smell like jasmine. Happy spring weekend.
