Some Days...

Some days have the ability to take your breath away. Like when you receive an unexpected delivery of flowers to your office. Discovering that the dress you bought online fits like a glove, or the moment when you exchange a smile with a stranger and immediately feel all warm and gooey inside.

Other days you’re just a winner! There’s an empty parking spot right near the supermarket door. Your run into work during peak hour is flawless and hassle free. Your local barrister sees you coming from a distance and before you’ve even paid, has your coffee waiting on the counter.

There are days when you feel like the world is against you. That no matter what you do or how much you try, you just can’t seem to catch a break. You arrive at the office only to notice a huge run in your stockings and the friends you’ve planned to have dinner with that night suddenly cancel on you.
Then there are days like today. Just as things seem to be travelling along nicely, you get blind sighted by someone you truly care about and suddenly feel like you’re gasping for air. That one little piece of information had the ability to change your mood, make you lose concentration, suddenly not feel hungry and put this awful feeling in the pit of your stomach that no matter how hard you try, you just can’t shake.

So, what’s on my ‘bounce-back’ menu?

Entree: Out the office door at 5pm and into the city for some retail therapy.
Main: A delicious dinner with some of my closest girlfriends for a catch up on life, love and everything in between, and finally
Dessert: A scented candle, a glossy magazine and the piece-of-mind that tomorrow morning I can sleep-in.

I'll let you know if it's a menu worth repeating...
