I didn’t have the best day yesterday.
I suppose it should have been, as it was my 20th Wedding Anniversary and the Seahawks won. But I was feeling kind of melancholy. My husband was meeting friends from out-of-town to watch the football game, my national commercial call back was cancelled (the chance for a BIG job, gone), a scheduled open gym for my basketball team (with colleges coaches in attendance,) also cancelled. And I’d spent much of the day picking up the house and buying food and drinks for guests that were to roll in after midnight.
But it could have been worse. I know, I’ve had worse.
Still, as my kids headed to bed and I sat down alone on the living room couch, sadness crept in on me (and a couple of tears.) But it didn’t last. Sometimes that’s all I need, to acknowledge the sadness. Then it’s time to brew tea, grab a book, curl up on the couch and listen to Bruno and Sassy’s soft snoring. To feel the good around me and remind myself that my family is healthy and we have a roof over our heads. That I’m lucky enough to be married to my best friend and that, life is beautiful.
And it doesn’t hurt to pick the right cup.
