If I put today in perspective it isn't as bad as I'm sure some people's days were but it is my life I'm living and not someone else's life. I'd like a do-over on today.
I lost some very important computer files first thing this morning...it took nearly 8 hours worth of work to get them all back. I got them uploaded where they needed to go with only 5 minutes to spare.
I met a friend after work for tea, to sit and chat. The last time we did this, I left feeling refreshed. It wasn't that I talked all that much, I didn't. The conversation was positive...not focused so much on the negative. God knows I have an easy enough time focusing on that. I tried to redirect in vain, several times...it didn't work. I finally had to go because I had another appt.
I went to said appt. and quickly remembered why I don't go to these types of functions...I feel horribly out of place in a room full of women with wedding rings who are talking about their husbands and children. I listen, nod appropriately, and try to include myself in the conversation by mentioning my date this past weekend... I hear..."Oh, I remember dating long ago.... (from a woman not more than a couple years older than me) now my husband...blah, blah, blah. Yes, I'm jealous. Big deal.
On the positive note...Monday is winding down. I have my favorite pj's on. I'm about to crawl into a warm bed and I need to remember to be thankful for everything that did go right today.
