Today, I was talking with an angry person. As she spoke, I felt like I could feel her words through the phone line (all exclamation points and capital letters in red ink) hitting my ear with great force and running down my cheek and neck.
I felt my face flush as my own anger rushed to my cheeks and
almost
out of my mouth.
And then, I blinked, twice.
Intentional blinks to remind myself of
who I am
what I do
and why.
Half way through my second blink, I smiled. I chose. I did not choose anger.
I felt very powerful in that second blink; almost like Wonder Woman when she boards her invisible jet.
the power to choose your reaction to life- an everyday miracle.
