Five Questions About Your Crappy Week

So it was been a long - somewhat rough week, at times I felt like I was been spinning my wheels and running into roadblocks.  A fellow blogger, might describe it as a shit storm of a week. In the end, I got a lot done, faked being nice to an _sshole, and moved on. It is time to pause and reflect on the week, and on what I might do next week, to clean up the mess and move forward.

1. What is the worst thing that happened this week in your life?  Go ahead - it can be good to talk about it - get it out - verbalize it.  
2. A year from now will you still be bothered by the worst thing that happened last week? 
3. What was the last thing you laughed about? 
4. Which felt better laughing or being pissed of?  
5. What will you do next week to laugh more and fuss less? 

My Answers: 

1. I finished a significant project that I had been working on for a month, only to be told, we don't want or need it.  
2. Will I be bothered, I might not even remember it.  Actually I will change a procedure so this never happens again - for if it does I might not be able to control my anger.  
3. On my morning commute I was reading a travel essay book, I love them. The author was traveling from California to France with two Pug dogs in carry on bags. While clearing security at the airport in San Francisco a security agent grabbed the bags with the dogs and started to walk away, when asked where he was going with the dogs, he responded, "to the X-ray machine, these dogs look strange, they could be packed with explosives or something."  To which the owner responded, "They are Pugs, they always look like that."  I laughed so hard I cried.  
4. Laughing always feels better, anger, frustration, depression are such a waste of energy.  
5. I can control what I read and what I watch.  I will find humor in the absurdities of daily life. If I find humor in the shape of the dark cloud, the rain will wash away my fussiness.
