I drove home from the Steakhouse to Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". I pulled into my driveway and sat in my car just to finish listening to it. A very fitting end to my day.
"You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost..." My day started out pretty well. Everything went smoothly, really it did. But it was a hard day. Too much emotion. Too few ideas. Misguided assumptions. I went from the school, to a meeting, to the Steakhouse. I was there early, and alone, and when I sat down at the bar I lowered my head and let the tears fall. There was little magic today. My physical, mental and emotional resources were stretched. I just didn't feel like enough. I thought that a big heart was an asset but I'm reaching the realization that it is also a huge liability.
So I'm going to "sing a sad song just to turn it around", sleep on it, and start fresh tomorrow.
"You had a bad day...Oooooo, you had a bad day..."

Gosh that's such a good song! I got it on my iPod way this summer already. It was a free download from iTunes. I dare anybody to listen to that song in a bad mood and not feel a LITTLE better when its over!
Hope things are better tomorrow.
Theres a quote from a U2 song on their new album:
"A heart that hurts, is a heart that feels...."
