Have you ever had one of those days? You know, where everything seems to be harder then it needs to be, where you drop your keys into a mud puddle while running late or forget your lunch at home, or remember – once you do get to work – that you had that important meeting this morning and you’ve missed that as well? A million and one things seem to go wrong and as your frustration level rises, even more things begin to fail. Some days, you just wish you could stay in bed.

Then, there are the days quite the opposite. Things seem to work, you feel fine, and any small issue either gets resolved or passed over and you’re just happy to be alive. Yeah … I’ve been having a lot of days like this lately.

Not sure why … not sure it matters. Maybe because Spring has sprung and the weather is beautiful, day after day. The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and even with a cold nip in the air, at least there is no more snow on the ground. Maybe it’s because Lisa and I have jobs when many others are unemployed and looking – and we’re thankful for what we have. Maybe it’s because my head is “in a good space” … but that’s sounds pretty left coast.

Or maybe, it’s because my new job is so different from my last one. As much as I liked my ex-coworkers, the constant drama placed a kind of oppressive stress on me and now that I don’t have to carry that around, everything feels lighter and easier. To be fair, I’ve had lots of jobs and none of them are “nirvana” … they all have their politics and problems and injustices and drama. But this job, here, now, is so refreshing that I’m going to enjoy it for as long as I can.
