Seeing differently

avatar

Sometimes I have days that simply do not go to plan no matter the efforts I make to turn the day work to my advantage; it happened a week ago, not a bad day, just frustrating and things never fell into place as they could have.

I had a meeting with a lawyer; that's not something I say every day, and I didn't get the answers I was hoping for. Rather, I got the exact opposite of what I was hoping for and had to pay for the privilege which hurt my purse and my mood.

Later I had a specialist appointment and got some news I was hoping to avoid; nothing serious, at least that's what I try to tell myself, but it's problematic and triggered another round of appointments and another specialist appointment to come. It's at that point I wish the day came to an end.

From there I had planned to meet a friend for an afternoon coffee but she was held back at work, something to do with the end of the world I guess, and she messaged at the last minute that should wouldn't make it. I wasn't pleased so decided to go home but on the way managed to get followed by a creepy man who clearly was up to no good and I felt terribly uncomfortable. I ended up ducking into a group of shops and waited there for a while browsing hoping he would not come in or wait for me to walk back out. Fortunately I managed to shake the creep off and make my way home and once there flopped down on the lounge feeling drained and defeated.

Much later that night after I had soaked in a very long bubble bath, had something to eat and was relaxing on the lounge I thought about my day and tried to put it into perspective, find a positive, but struggled until I recalled waiting for the meeting with the lawyer.

It was one of those very tall buildings that tower over the city streets and has large windows all around the waiting area which gave a really splendid view over the city, the parklands beyond and out to the gulf where I could see the ocean and tiny dots that were boats coming and going. At the time I was preoccupied with the impending meeting but later recalled how beautiful the view really was and I decided that was just the thing to give me the perspective I needed, something positive to take out of the day.

Sometimes it's difficult to see past the problems and hassles we have and it's easy to give in to the negative feelings they bring but a very slight shift of perspective and the view it brings, the way we think and feel, can change so dramatically and salvage something from a less than positive day.

Good morning from this side of the world Becca ☕️. A lawyer and doctors, not the day I would look forward to either. I do hope it all works out for you and will be thinking positive thoughts on your behalf. As far as the creepy guy, I would have loved to have seen his face if your man had been there to confront him.

Anyway, yeah, sometimes the slightest thing can bring our view back into perspective. Take care gal!

Hello Joe, it's nice to hear from you.

No, it wasn't the best of days and that creepy guy topped it off; I think had my guy been around it would have been a different ending, or wouldn't have happened in the first place, but he was away.

Thanks for commenting and hope things are well with you and that you have a really nice weekend.

Becca 🌷

Every now and then I have one of those days, when it seems like everything bad happens all together, as if there is a black cloud over me.... it's maybe just that day. It's hard to find that little bit of good in it. I understand you.

The pictures you took are spectacular! And the song I know and it's beautiful.

Hugs Becca and I wish you beautiful days!💗

Sometimes we can't choose the day we have, but we can choose how to react to each one and what we get out of them.

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards @becca-mac
It was a day of much activity in the diversity of uncertainty, from the multiplicity of edges were collected all the experiences of the day, to reveal the unexpected. We can have control over many things, but what is about to happen is imprecise and uncertain, so is the flow of existence in this journey, nothing is constant. Despite the setbacks, we are glad that you managed to go through and take on your heterogeneous day, give it value, meaning and obtain the sustenance that finally generated balance and dissipated the chaos. Not everything is bad, not everything is lost, it depends on our attitude and our look.
We thank you for your regular participation in our community, giving lending luster and value with your reflections, facilitating the collective growth. Health and Wellness !LUV

Fue un día de mucha actividad en la diversidad de la incertidumbre, desde la multiplicidad de aristas se recopilaron todas las vivencias del día, para revelar lo inesperado. Podemos tener control sobre muchas cosas, pero lo que está por suceder es impreciso e incierto, así es el fluir de la existencia en este viaje, nada es constante. A pesar de los contratiempos, nos alegra que hayas logrado atravesar y asumir tu heterogéneo día, darle valor, sentido y obtener el sustento que finalmente te generó equilibrio y disipando el caos. No todo es malo, no todo está perdido, depende de nuestra actitud y nuestra mirada.
Le agradecemos su participación habitual en nuestra comunidad, dando prestancia y valor con sus reflexiones, facilitando el crecimiento colectivo. Salud y Bienestar.

It's best practice to look for the positive things, but to acknowledge and understand the negative ones as well.

Thanks for your comment.
