We missed our connecting flight by four minutes. I felt a wave of frustration rush through me. Frustration at the apathetic flight attendants as we sat on the tarmac for an hour, frustration at the smug look on the gate agent’s face when I asked for the customer service desk and she pointed towards a spider web of humans swarming around a small table, frustration at myself for packing the toothpaste and deodorant in our checked bag.
It is a precious life! And we all need gentle reminders.
