Well, today I got to thinking about what is really a bad day.

It is so easy to dwell on things when you are having a bad day. So easy to dwell on it if you feel you have had a hard time, either recent past or a long time past.

Well I have to remind myself, NO MATTER HOW BAD my day is there are thousands having a far worse time than I am ever having. Indeed you don't have to go far to be reminded. Many on this site have had, are having, a far worse time than I will ever have. Most of you would be astounded by some of the stories some here could tell you.

You can not change the past. But you can live in the present and you can change the future. Stop dwelling on what you cannot change and focus on what you can. Suck it up and put a smile on.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't feel all the things you do, hurt, jealousy, rage, anger etc. Just get over it and do it quickly. Don't waste more tears than you need to dwelling on it. Go live life to the full and take no prisoners.

So to put it in a nut shell. Put it behind you, suck it up and be thankful you are just having a bad day.

After all, you will probebly never ever, in your life time, realise just how fortunate you are, and I truley wish you never do.
