Its a write off so write it off.

We are all entitled to an "off' day every now and then.  We do not seem to escape days worth placing in the dustbin no matter who we are or profess to be. Even the worlds greatest sportsman, business men and women and leaders have days, that they would prefer to forget.  It may be a day of emotion, or something that truly upsets us and it may be a few small things which slowly grind away at us and then culminate in a day when everything seems a "bit much".  Not everyone has the luxury of taking a day off to recharge or just getting away from it all to get our mind off the day.  Maybe it is worth letting ones imagination run a bit and think of lying in the sun somewhere beneath a palm tree, or being whisked away Christian Grey style, to Paris for dinner.  Maybe it would help to think of nothing but the best days of laughter and fun and to transform our minds into places of fantasy and fairytale.  But probably like most, we have to learn to just cope and in fact we are often told to just get on with the day and things will be OK.  You can tell when a colleague or family member is truly down and the best medicine, is often to just remove as many obstacles as you can from the day and be supportive, knowing that a similar day lies ahead of you as well.  How many times do people rather take the view that "I also had the worst day yesterday" or, "but that is their problem and I have problems of my own" - selfish approaches to a single day, when that person feels it is all too much. Does it take much to realise, that for a few hours, that bit of attention or moment is potentially the difference in the recovery, or healing of that person and it may be equipping them for a day when they will be the "strong one ", offering support to another.  We cannot escape bad days, but we can hold steadfast in the belief, that together, we can cope and give each other hope and encouragement, for a better tomorrow.  Sometimes it is through words and sometimes just to listen,  Sometimes a well positioned joke, or some laughter can be the perfect distraction - either way, show respect to those around you, not knowing their dilemma, or frustration, or hurt.  It is not what is in the story, but in the way you read it and help them to turn the page to a better tomorrow.
