WHAT IF YOUR BACK WAS ALWAYS ‘GOT’?

Posted on March 24, 2018 by Sheona Bello

I’ve recently encountered what seems to be a relentless string of unfortunate
events – which, to a host of mere miracle working – have become some of my best
stories to date.

Think missed alarm to my first interstate client presentation, leaving my luxury
wallet on the roof of my car in a questionable neighborhood, spilling coffee all
over a merino poncho at the start of a working day.  The list could go on, with
most of the episodes downright stupid, and causing into question my validity as
a law-abiding, resourceful or capable citizen.

Apparently, just when I think I’ve gotten my act together and on due course to
#adulting properly, something hilarious happens.  Something, which causes me to
stop, have a laff, and share my momentary misfortune with someone who definitely
laughs at (not with) me.

After no joke, about a week of non-stop daily encounters of the worst kind, I
stopped to seriously consider what was seriously wrong with me.

> Why was karma simultaneously teasing and rewarding me so regularly.  And more
> scarily, when would the good resolutions end.  Was my limit almost up?

Speaking out loud, I realized there was such a basic, elementary undertone. 
Don’t shoot me…Gratitude.

Thinking about it, I thanked the lawd for:

 * Free-flowing traffic allowing me to reach the VA333 en route to Sydney that
   frightful morning
 * The kind couple and accompanying Bull Mastiff for walking past my car before
   the sun had set, making my Prada life-blood visible
 * My unwavering tendency to leave a spare blazer on my desk chair when I ruined
   my previous outfit.

 Thank ya, thank ya, and thank ya again.

It got me thinking like, what if there was always something / someone who had
your back, and everything was a simple exercise in remembering to not take
things too seriously?

I get it, there are a world of worse things to happen to someone compared to my
simple existential errors e.g. coffee spills.  But I’m hoping this ability to be
light-hearted in the face of mistakes can signal a trend towards ease when
things do get really tough. 

> I hope in the clamour of small wrongdoings we can appreciate that often it’s a
> masked suitor who is staging  a hugely necessary wake-up call to look
> retrospectively, on everything there IS to be grateful for.

Like all the times alarms rang, when cars turned on without the need for RACV
assistance, when parents/friends/partners were supportive, personal trainers
were gentle, or you could leave work on time to enjoy the sunset.

Step back babies, and look around, promise it ain’t ALL bad.

– S.
