I sure have. I’ve had many a better day than today. You know those days, right? Starts off great, ends horribly? But in my downheartedness I’ve come to one realization and a fast-fix or two that I shall list below for your future reference, you know, for when you’re ever in need of some illuminating words of wisdom:
First and foremost, what prompted this swift change in emotional climate is this little philosophical nugget… Thinking you’re doing a great job, actually doing a great job, and others believing that you’re doing a great job are three completely different schools of thought.
To trigger a speedy, mental about-face, please refer to the following:
- Stumble upon some animal cuteness. Case in point.
- Snuggle a Pug (see: #1).
- Indulge in that chocolate treat you’ve saved for an impassioned breakdown such as this.
- Call a friend and bitch-it-out.
- When all else fails, WINE. Just Cham-those-pagnes right away….
…..and then in the end you’ll realize, there’ve been worse days.
So it’s not such a bad day after all….
