My inner voice is on good form this morning.
Just said to myself (upon spilling some water while cleaning something):
"Well. That accomplished the intended goal. And there was also an unintended and unanticipated consequence."
Doesn't seem that positive now that I write it out, but it is a stark contrast to cursing myself or my bad luck.
I like that approach to dealing with when things don't work as intended, and will try to hang onto it.
