Getting Caught In The Rain…
For those of you who are sports fans, this story may peek your interest, but I will not give you the blow by blow recant of the game. Stay with me, I promise it’s going somewhere.
So last night, I was lucky enough to get 2 club box tickets to the Philadelphia Flyers vs. Dallas Stars game, with a premier parking pass. We had exceptional seats, about 12 rows off of center ice; access to the club box bar and close proximity to a restroom, which seems small, but quite the luxury at a crowded sporting event. The game proved to be exciting clear through the 3rd period where the Flyers pulled out a 4 -3 win over the Stars, giving them their 5th win in a row. With all the commotion of an exciting win and masses of people exiting the stadium, my friend and I went out the wrong exit. So much for a premier parking pass… And to add to it, it was raining, hard! Taking advantage of the situation, we decided to run through the parking lot, jumping in rain puddles, splashing each other and racing through the parked cars like an obstacle coarse. It was freezing cold and we were soaked, but it was fun. Fun that you see children having, carefree, easy fun and it was all stimulated by a mistake. When I woke up this morning, I was excited to share my story. If it made me take the time to reflect on the simplicity and smile, then maybe it would touch someone else. I guess the moral of the story is, not to let mistakes get you down, don’t dwell on them. Get through them, learn from them and make the most of the situation!
