One of Those Days

Occasionally in life there are days that are fine, but there is something inside of your head that makes a fine day or even a good day in the real world feel like the worst day, or another bad day in a series of days like that.

Days such as these are harder to handle than a truly bad day, when people ask how your day is what are you supposed to respond, "Really, there's nothing to complain about, but today has just been a bad day for me for no good reason"?

I think, at times, we are all faced with this dilemma.

My advice?  (Mostly advice to myself...)

1. Listen to some truly wonderful music
2. Try to forget about the problems
3. In the event 2 doesn't work, figure out what it is that is bothering you and GET OVER IT.
4. Repeat 3...until you're really over it.

Probably needless to say, sometimes I'm really bad at this.  Then I just listen to "One of Those Days" by Joy Williams and...get over it.  Eat some ice cream.  Then, proceed with a smile because things are really not bad, it just seems worse than it is sometimes.  Life is grand.
