Good job!  I'm impressed!  I'm very glad you were able to use the book so soon, and so well!  Fabulous Brandon.  Keep that up and life will be much better for you and those you love. 

I had something similar happen. The last Sunday that we had school, I got a nice, big, glass of Pepsi to help me make my two hour drive home. Just as the light turned green, my soda tipped, the lid came off, and the large Pepsi went all over a large area in my truck (which was newly cleaned).  I found myself saying, "WHY did this have to happen?" Then I cracked up and started laughing out loud because Dr. Hurst just taught us that we only ask "why" when the bad things happen!  Never when good things happen!  So, I drove back to the gas station, grabbed a hose, washed out the carpet, hand dried it as best I could with clean rags, got a BOTTLE of coke with a twist on CAP and happily drove down the highway NOT asking myself "WHY".  I've been using the resilience factors for a few years now.  They work. 

Next time the bag breaks, stand back, admire the art work you have just created, and be so darn happy that it's FRESH garbage that hadn't been sitting in the sun for weeks.  Also, that your grease jar wasn't any bigger.  Positive psychology.  It works. Laughing

Hint:  Buy better garbage bags.
