August 5. Day 217. Rose coloured glasses

Less than fun things from today
1.Whinge from a Drama Teen about extreme fatigue that should warrant a day off school
2. A great mound of dog poo that needed to be picked up. By me. Who else?
3. A staff meeting
4. A big grocery shop
5. A checkout operator who asked "how's your day been?" without any eye contact or interest in the answer.
My reaction to these things: a sweet smile and not a hint of irritation. I don't normally wear the rose coloured glasses, in fact I'm not sure I own a pair but today they were on. Today I think I was in a state of post traumatic shock but in a good way. Today I woke up with my fur friends on the bed. I'm about to go to sleep with them on the bed and at every point of the day in between I knew exactly where they were.
After yesterday, today was a champagne and roses kind of day, even though the closest I came to either was walking by this beautiful bloom this morning. Everything was rosy (except perhaps the bit about the dog poo)

  3. The detail on that rose is glorious, it's so easy to ignore the beauty in a deluge of crapness. Well done for using those rose-tinted specs.

    Thanks for linking up to Project 365.
