Today, an 83-year-old woman in the grocery store thought I was her age. Honestly, I know I didn’t have any makeup on, and my eyes were red, but I was sad about being mistaken as part of the WWII generation. It was too much to bear today. I know I’m no spring chicken, but I am over a decade younger than her. This made me realize that I have to get some pep back in my step! I don’t drink or go out and party anymore so those aren’t even good excuses for me. Being tired is not a good look on me! Maybe I should have just stayed in bed today.

But, alas, things need to get done, and life goes on. When we just want to crawl back in bed, we need to re-focus and do something different for a few minutes. If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself it’s okay, and that we all have bad days, and tomorrow is a new day to start fresh. Tomorrow will be the time to bring back joy in your life surrounded by your friends. So don’t beat yourself up. Try and put your life on pause for a little while so you can rest.

I just discovered Forrest Frank’s YouTube video called “Sit if you’re having a bad day.” Worth the listen:

So remember, just when you think your day is bad, and you are looking older than you are, there are always worse things that might happen to you:
-Your horn sticks on the freeway behind 32 Hell’s Angels
-Your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles.
-You turn on the evening news and they are showing emergency routes out of the city.
-You realize that you just sprayed spot remover under your arms instead of deodorant.
-The bird singing outside your window is a vulture.
-Your income tax refund check bounces.
-Nothing you own is actually paid for.
-Your doctor tells you that you are allergic to chocolate chip cookies.
-Everyone loves your driver’s license picture.
-The gypsy fortune teller offers to refund your money.
-Everyone is laughing but you.

Love and hugs to all tonight.
