on a whim I decided to take my son to the movies. So we go to the movies knowing it starts at 6:45, I’m running just a few minutes late.

it’s opening night there’s a line so we park and my boy heads over there. By the time we get there I’m thinking this line is a little bit longer and I would like it to be, so I suggest that we just leave there and go rent a movie because I don’t think we can get in before starts.

No he says let’s stay, so we do. that is until the guy from the theater comes out and calls to the line who’s here to see the movie we went to say. So the people who were there to see the Lego movie which is the one we went to say he says the only seats left for the first three rows. So other people start squawking
What hello what do you think which movie

I grabbed my boy right away let’s go because I know I’m not sitting in the first three euros. He’s a little dumbfounded but he comes with me and then I explain us for walking and we both agree that we didn’t want to sit in the first three rows. But then I see a red box across the street and I say hey let’s go over there and see if they have any movies so we walk over there, but before we can get to the machine another group walks up, and another group starts waiting outside.

one hour standing there in the cold waiting for a Redbox machine I say let’s just go to the movie store and get a movie from there because there to have all the same movies that are in this Redbox. Again he’s a little con founded but after minute realizes that that does make sense, so we walk away.

I can see how it would be easy to suffer over thus the frustration of trying to get to the movies and not being able to, but instead I immediately said felt a sense of calmness, and peacefulness, I was okay with not going to the theater. And was grateful when I remembered that I have this blog where I can write about my experience dealing with suffering and then this one case, today was a victory.
