That's exactly right. Small chunks. The approach was really tested on the drive. I saw cars going by on a parallel secondary road and I was cursing myself for not thinking to take it myself. I caught myself in time to prevent a raging meltdown. Don't go there girl. It's okay. You will get there eventually. Accept and find something good in the NOW. Just then I noticed some eagles soring in the sky and I watched them and imagined myself up there with them and it help to calm me down. At another point I was making up stories about the people in the other cars. That kept my mind occupied and helped the time go faster. Once the traffic finally got past the scene I took some time to acknowledge my good work. While the wind cooled me down I was singing my own praises. lol. I didn't go into racing panic mode to make up time. Instead I just kept in the NOW and ignored the time.
A few more hassles at the airport and I finally found my son and all was right with the world again.
