I have realised that we go through various feelings in any given day…at least I do…it’s very rare I have a completely ecstatically joyful day, or a terribly woeful one. There are patches that trip me up, and situations that most certainly help raise a smile…

…let’s have a little look at a few of them, shall we? 

1. When you have to battle to drag yourself out of bed in the morning…one side of you knows you should – the other half doesn’t care! But jobs, and bills, and rent – and all that – urgh.

 2. When something doesn’t quite work out the way you wanted…the first sign of a not so perfect day…frustrating to say the least – can’t I just go back to bed and not deal with anything?!

 3. When dealing with your first inexplicable idiot of the day…take a deep breath – in, out, in out…now drop the hammer you’re holding and keep walking.

 4. When something goes right for you, and you feel more self-confident than Jedi Obama…

 5. When the hunger pains set in…and no one is safe – NO ONE! Am I hungry because I’m bored, or bored because I’m hungry? I can’t remember…BUT GIMME THAT!

 6. When your boss asks you to work late…you may smile brightly, and say “sure no problem!” But really you are thinking…

 7. When you finally get out of work, and your time is now completely your own…you can do anything…the world is yours!

 8. But…then you fall in love with a stranger on the commute home…

Nevermind, there’s always tomorrow…

Well that’s my lot! Did I miss any important ones? Let me know!
