I think I have somewhat of a reputation for being pretty laid back, that is, that I don’t really let anything get to me and remain ultimately optimistic about things. Today was a good example of why.

I’m woke up this morning feeling like a truck hit me, which wasn’t all that unexpected considering I spent all day Saturday hauling around a video camera in the sun and felt pretty sick on Sunday. But there was also the fact that I absolutely had to shoot an interview today and did not have one lined up. And that I have to have two more articles published in the newspaper by next week, and the editor I was in contact with no longer works for the paper.

But hey, what kind of optimist would I be if I let that stuff get me down? Things have a way of working out, especially if you chill out and think rather than freaking out and letting emotions keep you from getting done what you need to get done.

Everything that needed to happen today happened, and hopefully tomorrow I won’t wake up feeling like death. But even if I do, it’ll work out.
