Expect interruption, it’ll make life go smoother.

I am finally home! The last for days were an unexpected deviation from what I had planned. Life is like that. We make plans, but not all our plans see the light of day. The biggest   takeaway from my four day excursion: Expect interruptions and learn from them. If we live life expecting things to happen how we planned, then we are going to live disappointed and frustrated. I spent the first two days of my hospital stay in a funk, because my three-day weekend was turning out, NOT how I envisioned. When I accepted that I was sick and in the hospital for a reason, my time there was more comfortable. It allowed me to appreciate my surrounds and to appreciate the care I was receiving. Save one (who was immensely overwhelmed) the nurses, doctors, and support staff at the hospital were amazing. It genuinely felt more like a resort stay, rather than a hospital. However, this point of view did not come till I was willing to accept the interruption of my plans.

So what am I thankful for today? Learning to accept interruptions. And for resort stays covered by insurance :).
