Irritated

Quite a few times yesterday, I forgot that what I was experiencing was my own movie, and that none of it was real.

A bit of drama with one of the owners in the building I'm cleaning let me know what my daughter in law has been going through. Just one ride on her merry go round made me dizzy and irritated.

At the same time, my granddaughter kept demanding attention. After a few small snaps her way, I stopped. She was the important one here, not the woman who was being more of a child than her.

So I got down on her level and said, "I am really irritated right now Honey, and none of it is your fault. I'm going to need to do a few things right now. What should I do if you start whining again?" A big smile came across her face and she said, "You can say, 'Olivia, do you want some cheese with that wine?'"

I burst out laughing. She laughed too and we enjoyed a moment of fun in the midst of the pressure. And then I remembered what this was all about and it became fun again.

That's why I chose her as one of my best supporting actors in this great movie immersion experience of mine.
