The NS (Dutch railway system) screwed up nicely again. I took the right train (after breakfast and bashing with Tha Migz) but at Driebergen we stopped. Permanently. I took a bus to Amersfoort where I could take the intercity to Groningen.

It was annoying to be in a crowded bus but I was amusing myself by writing and reliving last night in LJ-entries.

There’s a baby crying in this train. It started softly but by now it’s almost deafening. I was really getting aggravated and very ready to throw my pen all the way through the isle, but then I heard a man behind me laughing.
Laughing seemed to be the only sensible thing to do!
As I laughed silently to myself (mocking myself for getting upset about this thing kids do: they cry….it’s natural!) I found the crying toddler less annoying. I could arm myself by laughing or smiling to myself about myself.

I hate crying children who cry for attention of their parents but simply smiling calmed me. This book (The Art of Happiness) has changed me. *warm smile*
