The Little Things

                                     The little things...

                   Today was one of the days that you can certainly call one of the bad ones... One of the bad ones are those few days that you will most likely remember... The few days that are absolutely miserable and you have lost much of your hope... 
                  I wake up and open my eyes. My whole body is aching and my head feels as if it is being squeezed so hard, it is about to explode. I realize that I can't escape the sadness that I was able to escape by going out the night before. Tears flood across my face and its hard to breathe. I get out of my bed and go into the shower. The shower is one of my escape places. If you need an escape place, try your shower or bathtub. There, you are able to cry freely as your tears blend in with the water running and the heat forces you to calm down. As I am in the shower I try to think rationally. Rational thinking is great, through such thinking you are able to realize that you should not be sad. You are able to look at all the positive things in your life and know, that you REALLY DO deserve better! Too bad emotions always overcome rational thinking, at least in my case. I go through the day as normal as I can possibly act it out, mostly staying in bed before I have to go to work in the afternoon. As I get to work, I am full of negative energy. I do not want to talk to anyone nor do I want to be at work. All I want is my bed. Although I am not being a jerk to anyone, it is obvious that I am not in the mood to talk to anyone. I am in the mood to ignore and be ignored. An hour passes by and my manager is about to leave. Intuitive, as she is, she gives me the biggest, warmest hug I haven't gotten in ages. She strips some of my negative energy and I feel some relief. As I sit at the desk, trying to get some work done, someone else brings me a latte. She knows that something is wrong but she does not ask. I am grateful for the coffee and the lack of questioning. She smiles as she gives me the coffee and I feel so much better. I do not feel the guilt of being cranky towards the two people that made my day significantly better because I know that everyone has their bad day. However, I feel happier and cared about~ and that changes my whole day.
            The little things, a hug and a hot beverage from someone that you would not expect are the things that everyone should do for others every once in a while. I am sure someone reading this has had those awful days, and has had someone there that made it better just by doing the little things... Knowing, how one feels on such a bad day, I hope that I can try to make someone feel better when they have a bad day by doing the little things.
