I had to go to Antwerp this morning for a couple of hours. Considering that it takes 3 hours (for the entire return journey) I wasn’t looking forward to it. And then the 7 a.m. train racked up a wonderful 50 minute delay.

Well I had two choices. I could spend the entire journey to Antwerp worrying I wouldn’t be on time and being annoyed at the delay. Or I could keep breathing and continue reading Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. I chose the latter and I was very happy about it: I finished the novel and I was just in time for the presentation.

Life is full of little annoyances. That is the simple truth.

I think the above image by Parker Fitzgerald (do check out his portfolio and blog, his images are amazing) says it all.

The thing about these annoyances is to keep breathing and not let them get to you. I’m not a hero in that department but I’m learning.

Have a wonderful week!
