Woke up this morning with full blown allergy miseries, so I stayed in bed as long as possible. Finally drug my hinny out and got ready for work, before staggering to the kitchen for my first fresh bottle of the magic weight loss elixir, only to find that my roommate had left me a note asking me to feed the dogs and give the diabetic one, Rocky, his insulin shot. Yikes, the train was due in 20 minutes and I still had to do all my packing up of  healthy snacks, etc not to mention these new added chores. Needless to say, I missed the train, it pulled off before I could even pull in the parking lot <dag I hate that> so I had to drive, <dag I double dog hate that> and that allowed stress to immediately set in! 

And wouldn’t you know, just past the train station is a fast food drive thru with the most amazing cinnamon buns, and I turned right in without giving it a single thought…but I pulled up to the order spot and my little rockstar angel whispered in my ear that coffee to warm my aching throat and boost my moral would work wonders… and that sugary old CR would make me feel like a failure and add more stress. Bless her little heart, I got a small black coffee and went on my way! 

I think every bad driver in Nashville Metro area was on the road with me! I was so raging over the poor driving habits! The little rockstar angel whispered,” this only hurts you, Holly Rockstar, when you get angry your T cells go down and you will get sicker than you already are”. So I decided to take a longer route with less traffic and hopefully that helped! 

Guess my point is that we don’t have to let life dictate how we will respond to these situations. I still fall into that trap, but I’m making an effort to be mindful. Thank heaven for my little Rockstar angel who speaks up when I’m on a course with disaster! 

Hope you all find a little angel sitting on your shoulder helping you to make good changes and avoid some of your old pitfalls too! Blessings to you ! Holly Rockstar
