how long did it take me to have this insight

The other morning I stepped out of the shower and noticed a word written on the mirror. JJ listens to the radio while showering and sometimes writes song names on the foggy mirror to note them for later purchase. I swiped clear a swath under the title and ducked down to check my hair in the mirror. It would have been simple enough to wipe the writing away if I was feeling annoyed or pissed off about anything. The choice is made daily, in many small actions rather than grand ones, between resentment or appreciation, antagonism or consideration.
