It’s One of Those Days
Have you had a day like I’ve had?
It was a day with limited appointments, so ideal for focusing on completing projects.
But I couldn’t stay focused if a zillion dollars was riding on getting a project done by 5:00.
Wandering through the house, gazing over my bookshelves, and staring into the fridge took up an awful lot of time.
I tried to tape Dr. Oz this afternoon.
I got a 60 minute show with about 10 minutes of health content, and 50 minutes of weather warnings. (Does it really take that long to warn us about the weather?)
Ideas for my postings have been bubbling for days…and today was the day to write them.
And now? I’ve got nothing. Nothing is even simmering.
And the harder I try to write…well, writing a complete sentence deserves Author of the Year status.
So it’s 5:30 and not a whole lot has been accomplished.
I’ve got two choices:
1) Kick myself for being lazy, unfocused, incompetent, etc. You know what I mean. When we’re in “one of those days,” we quickly find all kinds of descriptors that question our right to be on this planet.
2) Recognize that I didn’t always make good choices today…AND I’ll make better ones tomorrow. I know that I’m competent, energetic, and productive. I’m making a difference and I re-start tomorrow.
You’ve had days like this, right? (Please say yes.)
Chalk it up to lessons learned and move on. The worst thing I can do tomorrow? Repeat today. That will start to build a habit. And it won’t be a good one.
It’s one of those days. And tomorrow will be even better.
