Don't be too hard on yourself --- I know, I know, easier said than done. But everyone, and I do mean everyone, has days like that. And just because you had a hard time at the airport and trip home, it doesn't take away from the good experience you had in Chicago. One doesn't wipe away the other. You arranged a wonderful gathering of friends. You laughed, you talked, you smiled.
I know the feeling of utter despair and helplessness that you described. It's so unnerving when we feel that way. But it doesn't define who we are as people. You are smart, kind, funny, compassionate, loving, considerate --- try to remember that.
And like you did, always go back to your breath. It's always there for you.
p.s. i had a celebration for my new store over the weekend and my yoga teacher came. that made me so happy!! (he wore a weird hat, even my daughter noticed that)
