Being Flexible

I really did not have a plan for tonight, but offered to be available to lend some books to an acquaintance.  Timing is important, since one of the books is for the book club we both attend, and is looming soon. 

I received an announcement about a meeting that I wanted to attend tonight, but it would last too long.... Oh well, I went to the meeting, left early, and still exchanged books. 

I am the kind of person who hates to arrive late, and is embarrassed to leave early.  Well, I left early tonight, and the walls did not fall down around me...

Life lesson:  you can arrive late or leave early, sometimes, without negative consequences.
