Just a follow up because I was pretty pissed off an hour or so ago and that really bothers me. Like I’m mad at the guy who drove on my lawn but I’m also mad at how mad it makes me. We call that a double whammy.
So I took a cold shower and did some thinking.
Nobody wants to be driving that truck in the first place. He’s probably way outside his jurisdiction too in unincorporated Kane County and maybe he fought with his girlfriend yesterday. Or maybe he’s down big to his bookie or got some kinda problem lurking that takes his attention away from reasonable behavior.
Maybe he’s just having a bad day and didn’t have the patience to make yet another mistake.
So instead of acting like a decent human being, he took it out on my front lawn because he was nervous about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or something like that.
Honestly I don’t know exactly but it certainly helps me to see it like this because then I can move on.
Guy fucked up.
Guy doesn’t care about other people’s property.
The Guy’s having a bad day so we move on.
There’s going to be much bigger challenges in life and I can’t let the concrete commercial truck driver steer me away from feeling good about my own life.
So this is me saying that I’m moving on and I’m inviting the rest of you guys to join me. No use in crying over spilled milk. Just clean it up and get on with life.
PS – Now that feels good.
