Episode 18 | I Didn't Hit Save. Now What?

I recorded what my wife and I both agreed was probably the best episode I've ever done.
Then I didn't hit save.
Gone. All of it. And I sat there with my head in my hands doing exactly what we all do in that moment — beating myself up, running through every version of if I had just, reminding myself how imperfect I am, calculating everything I lost.
And then I asked myself: what are you going to do about a moment that's already gone?
Absolutely nothing. Because you can't. There is no command Z for what's already been done. The only thing that exists right now is right now.
This episode is about that — not in some inspirational poster kind of way, but in the real, practical, sitting-in-your-chair-with-your-head-in-your-hands kind of way. The moment's gone. The day isn't. A bird just flew into our window view and perched on a tree long enough for Sharon and me to see it and then it was gone too. That's not a shit day. That's just a day.
Cut yourself some slack. Not because you deserve a pass. Because dragging around what you can't fix serves absolutely no purpose.
The next time I talk about what I lost today, it'll probably be better anyway.
