~:[CH12 - Day 226]:~ It's Just a Tear

You may wonder, why on the first day of school does he post a picture of torn pants? For those who know me, you know the recent stories of my struggle with pants (and shorts I guess too). I think I just end up wearing my clothes too often and wear them down, but most people think I either am doing something in them that I should (which I guess lifting weights isn't ideal for khakis) or they're not the right size. Regardless, it's been a funny adventure that I'll be writing a book about in some distance future. Strangely enough, I think back to elementary school when I was playing handball one day. I leaned against the pole and went to sit down when a nail tore my pants open. Maybe that day was the start of this adventure, but regardless, it always means a funny story will remain. Of course, I'm not here to talk about pants. I think that life plays into this narrative. Sometimes we find ourselves facing the dilemma of something ruining our day. We think we got it handle and all of a sudden, the tear happens in our day. It's easy to get mad and frustrated in that moment, however, in many cases, it might be better just to laugh it off and think, it's just a tear. I think sometimes in life we take things too seriously or feed the drama that ruins our day when we can just shake off that moment and continue to stride forward. Even if it gets a little bit drafty, sometimes not allowing a bad moment ruin your day will help your day be great. In the end, the first day went well. Obviously there were things that could have gone better and I ended the day responding with a consecutive string of emails that put me on edge, still yet, I just took it in stride, responded as best I could and celebrated that I survived day 1. Let the countdown to summer begin. JKJK. BTW, can we start a GoFundMe for my pants restocking?
