today has been a 'bad' day... assuming you believe those actually exist and you still have the capacity to have them. a bad day for me recently has just seemed like a day of growth.
My motorcycle was towed and it cost $500 to get it un-towed. It hurts. I won't deny that. But on a positive note, it was towed, not stolen; It cost $500 not $700 or $800, and they didn't put that annoying sticker on my bike. You know what sticker I am talking about. It's the 'You've been towed' sticker' but it's not even just that, it's the 'Not only have you been towed but now we are going to put a big sticker on your windshield that will require some goo-be-gone and creative use of your ice-scraper (which you never thought you would use in the middle of July) to get off' sticker. So overall, it wasn't too bad.
I guess I also learned a lot today about how I could have avoided being towed (better luck management, being more conscious, aware, perceptive, driven) and how I respond to painful adversity. I didn't handle it well today, in fact I acted quite childish, but I grew from the adversity and promise to 'get em' next time'. Consequently, I did do some great writing today based on all the events that occurred today. And a day with good writing can never be a bad day.
