A Valentine’s Day Surprise

It was the day before Valentine’s Day and I was planning to go to my boyfriend’s house after school.  When I got there no one was home.  I started to think negative thoughts about where he was when “What else could it mean?” popped into my head.  By thinking about that question, I really didn’t get upset.

 I went on with my day and acted as if everything was ok.  When my boyfriend got home, he called me.  I asked him where he was earlier in the day and it turns out he was out getting me something for Valentine’s Day.  I was happy to know that I had a strategy that helped me not to be upset.  And I was even happier to know that he had gotten me something for Valentine’s Day!
