How Many Hats Do You Wear? or How I survived dropping the ball.

It finally happened. It is rare. I don't always handle it well. But, I DROPPED the damn ball. 

You know what that's like, right? I pride myself on follow-through. On getting things done. Of making things happen.

But. I had one too many balls in the air. I didn't have a great system in place to track everything going on or all my obligations. 

So, I reacted first by beating myself up a little. Shared the story with a couple friends (I chose wisely here... I didn't need anyone else beating me up or admonishing me.) And then, I. Let. It. Go.

None of this is about perfection. I am perfectly flawed and human. Truly two of my best traits. 

So I write my words of gratitude. I focus on what went right instead of wrong. I look around this magical space and get excited about the possibilities. And I remember: I believe I can so I will.

​So now your turn, tell me, what do you do to get through dropping a ball?
