As I travel about, I sleep in different beds. At times I find that the bed sheet or blanket are not evenly placed when the bed was prepared or made prior to my arrival. That is, more of the sheet/blanket hang over one side of the bed. If I don't remake the bed before getting into it, I find that through the night the imbalance only gets worse. I may be awakened in the night by a draft or cool room with most of the covering not covering me but hanging to one side of the bed. An initial imbalance is made worse.
It is the same way with my attitude or outlook on the day. If I begin the day out of sorts, or out of balance, and do not try and correct it right away, then the day only gets worse. A little irritation becomes drama. A minor resentment becomes my battle with a messed up world. I cannot help the mood or attitude with which I wake up. But I can try to get back into balance or allow someone else to do it. Prayer, quiet reflection, a short positive reading, seems to get me into balance again. So what will keep you sane today?
