Chalking It Up
I had a bad day yesterday.
It started out okay, but by about 3 o'clock on it just took a downward spiral. You know those days. Bad news begets bad news begets .... yadda yadda. The interesting thing was that Sunday had been the highlight day of the week, the day I was looking forward to for a few reasons. None of which occurred.
Here are some samples of my Sunday...finding more bedbugs hiding in my bed after almost being convinced that I was getting rid of the bastards for good, getting an email from HTSNBN full of polite, neutral words that reminded me that I am missed as FRIEND, but not even kind of as PARTNER, my final notice that I owe EI over $500 of money they apparantly overpayed me back in 2005, discovering that a job I applied for has not only not called me to offer me the job, but the guy doing the hiring (who I met through friends) did in fact take my advice as to where he could post the job to maximize his response which means I helped someone figure out how to hire someone other than myself AND plans I had Sunday were postponed and postponed and finally just didn't happen leaving me dressed up and asleep on the couch, remote in hand, a bad rerun of King of Queens blaring in the background.
Unbelievable.
Ah well. I guess If I was to put a positive spin on the above I could say that despite finding the BBs I haven't been bitten in many nights which has got to be a good sign, a polite email from an ex is better than an evil, stalker-ish email from an ex, the overpayment notice may be able to just be garnished off my furutre income tax returns hopefully, good karma will be mine for helping this guy find the employee(s) he is looking for and the person who postponed/cancelled our plans does feel awful about it.
Life is about positive spin. Perspective. Even Brent David has decided that the new black eye has added to his Bad Boy rocker image and he hopes that, at the very least, he will be left with a sexy, mysterious scar over his right eyebrow. See, perspective.
Wayne Dyer is always reminding me that when life doesn't seem to unfold the way you had planned that there are usually even bigger plans unfolding that you haven't been able to step back far enough from to truly appreciate.
Ok, Wayne, stepping back. Stepping back and chalking it up to a bad day...
...with the potential for greatness.
