Waking Late and Keeping Calm

I woke up late today (around 5:30 AM - late for me). In times past, I would have been upset and/or somewhat discombobulated, but this time I just “went with the flow” and continued on as normal (skipping a few things I would have done).

Then I checked today’s “Daily Quote from St. Francis de Sales” (published by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales): “Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” It fit, and, fortunately, I was already operating in that mode.
