Silver lining

It's very easy at the end of a long day to let a difficult, challenging or upsetting conclusion taint how the rest of the day is seen. When you don't have a lot of energy left, minor problems become substantial, and substantial problems - well you can only imagine what happens to them.

But problems - large or small - have a tendency towards obscuring everything good and exciting about a day, which is hardly good for a balanced perspective.

Today ended badly. Let's just say that. But there was still much in there to be happy and thankful about. And the day isn't over yet anyway. There's still time to let things improve - in my mind, if nowhere else. Because the problems that emerged today are hardly worth ruining a perfectly good day.

It's not rocket science, as they say, but easy enough to forget. I'm going to try to remember it today.
