Some of the best conversations I ve ever had took place on the decks of those PEI ferries. Sometimes we need to stop and take a break on life s journey. We may be more efficient, more plugged in, but we re also more stressed, more isolated, more cut off. Used to be my breaks were built in, but now unless I plan for them, they re no longer there. I imagine it s the same for you as well.
Life is full of unplanned, uncontrollable events.
Some people handle a ferry delay by sitting in their cars stewin', brewin', and chewin'. Others catch up on their reading, or get out and walk around and start talking to their fellow travelers. Some go with the flow and turn frustration into fruit. Others take a small setback and envision that it s an evil conspiracy, designed specifically to ruin their day. I think you can figure out which attitude is healthier.
