Did you ever notice how not very many people have bad days on their blogs? People might talk about stuff they're angry about, etc., but nothing beyond that. In an effort at orginality, let me say that I had a pretty cranky morning. Traffic sucked, I said stupid things to my undeserving wife on the phone as I sat in traffic, and then one of my MIA clients showed up out of the blue asking me to take him to the welfare office. Fortunately, that office is pretty close to my office, so I walked him down there instead of driving. Beautiful morning here in Seattle, and despite the fact that I was walking next to a homeless guy with some pretty ripe body odor, I did get some fresh air. That helped.
But I came back thinking that sometimes the blogosphere is a little bit like church - not very many people have a bad day. We just smile, wave, say everything is fine, or say nothing if it isn't. Now, I'm not asking my blogging friends to start dishing on all the crap that's going on in their lives, but hey, feel free to say you're having a bad day once in a while. It might make someone else feel better about their crappy day.
And now that I've got some fresh air in my lungs and some clarity in my mind, I say with all sincerity . . .
Shalom, friends.
