D is for "It's Still a Delightful Day!" #AtoZChallenge

It’s totally dull and drab outside
But it’s still a delightful day!
The weather makes you run and hide
But it’s still a delightful day!

The dog tracked mud across the rug
But it’s still a delightful day!
You broke your favourite coffee mug
But it’s still a delightful day!

You feel bloated like a big fat blob
But it’s still a delightful day!
You lost your phone in the subway mob
But it’s still a delightful day!

You broke your shoe on the 8 am train
But it’s still a delightful day!
You forgot your umbrella and it started to rain
But it’s still a delightful day!

Your coworker Josh is a great big jerk
But it’s still a delightful day!
He got that promotion you wanted at work
But it’s still a delightful day!

Your boyfriend left you and you lost your job
But it’s still a delightful day!

HOLD ON! ENOUGH ALREADY! It’s NOT a delightful day. What a load of crap!

It’s DOWNRIGHT DEPRESSING and you want to give up. I get it.


Here, have some chocolate, some cookies, some whiskey  and Sound of Music to watch. 

Call me if you want to vent. 

Chin up, Girl! Life’s a bitch sometimes!


 I am participating in the A to Z Challenge writing a blog post for every day in April, except Sundays. http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

    Ohh...that was a lot of positive thinking, Cat, except in the end! How we could all do with the chocolates and coffee and whisky and music to cheer us up through all the crappy days!

      Just thought I'd add a bit of humour and reality to the poem. Sometimes being too positive despite bad stuff does get exhausting and you just want to scream and vent about it. Life is too tough sometimes to always be cheerful, I find.

    haha... I Found it funny :) That is kinda how I usually think too. I try to build myself up during bad days but then at the end, somedays you just say "oh, to hell with it. Gimme my booze and let me howl!"

      Glad you could relate to the humour, Roshan. I like to try and keep positive as much as possible but some days you just give up when you get dumped on so much that you can't take it anymore. Gimme my booze and let me howl is right! LOL!

    Just the sight of those cookies makes me forget all the bad that's happened through the day! :P

    My favorite "feel good" food is jeera-aloo sabji, paratha, and a big cup of hot tea! You might not be able to relate to these food items (except the tea of course). I'll do a post on it after the A to Z. Will take some pics when I make this menu next.

    Happy AtoZing!

    Hahaha! Pass the whiskey. ☺ You can't be positive every minute of every day and from my experience, a good wallow and vent actually help to give you relief.

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
