Present moment lost, anger ensues

I got angry at my wife tonight. I was cooking dinner and she had taken away all the oven mitts. So I couldn't take the food out of the oven and it started to over cook. I got upset with her.

But really, I was locked into the immediate past. If I stayed in the present moment, I would have realized I was not able to pull this out of the oven. I would have stayed in the moment and gotten an alternative to the oven mitts. But, I failed. I got caught in the past... I wanted my wife to hear me repeat over and over how we need to have oven mitts in the kitchen.

The lesson here tonight was: Stay in the moment. Don't get wrapped up in judgement, or the past.
