Day Eleven: Bad Days and Fresh Starts

First off, apologies for another posting gap. When I accepted this challenge, I failed to take in account for the countless hours my actual job takes from my life. If only I could blog for a living. I'm now looking into that, actually. Please advise, lol.

I am not thankful for actual bad days. Because they suck. But I am thankful that I have the freedom to have a bad day. I may have a ton of stuff to get done, people coming in and out wanting a smile, or appointments and meetings until 9pm at night....but I can still have a bad day if need be. Not only do I have the freedom for a bad day, but there are people around that can help make that bad day better. By making me laugh, even unknowingly. Or bringing me coffee. Or sending me a nice text message to let me know they are thinking of me.
Bad days are a part of life. Everyone has them. And they DO suck. No one gets up in the morning as says, ok, I think I want to have a bad day today. Ok, maybe subconsciously, but that's not my point. My point is that sometimes we just have rough days. Our spirit gets punched on, we have little sleep, maybe we are sick, or everything just goes wrong. And it's ok to just say, wow, today was awful. Because we have that freedom. The key is to not stay there. To try and focus on the small acts that made you smile or cheered you up a bit. Then just go to bed, and start over tomorrow.Which reminds me, I'm also grateful for fresh starts :).
Embrace your bad days. And look forward to your fresh starts. And forgive me for my writers block recently...
