how often do you have "one of those days"?  ...those days that you know will be busy, but seem to start off well enough, so you begin to have a little hope for them...then as things progress and no major disasters have befallen you, you start to have outright confidence in your day-handling abilities...maybe your confidence morphs into cockiness as you glide up and down the streets on a blissful run that just feels right, and you marvel at your time management skills - you are master of your day, today!  take that!

 

...

 

then it's noon, and it as you're soaring around in the high that has been your mightily successful morning, you get a little to close to the sun of your achievements, and it all comes crashing down - Icarus style.  (now that's what I call a metaphor!)

 

today, i did indeed hit my plateau at noon.  my classes after that point dragged, and my scriptwriting meeting was unproductive.  i forgot things at home for an information session my drama company was having, broke a window in the room we had booked (literally just by touching the glass) and upon finally getting organized, the session ended up being severely under-populated.  To top it all off, my co-host hopeful and I didn't get the time slot we wanted for our radio show (which now has a distinct chance of becoming a thing of the past) and I have a proposal due tomorrow for which i am fresh out of ideas.  (begs the question as to why i am using my time to write here...)

 

yep, it's just been one of those days...another reminder of why doing things on my own, or purely for my own reasons would be ultimately fruitless...at the very least, it's nice to know God is helping me to develop a sense of humour concerning circumstance, and allowing me to discover the silver linings inside my efforts that seem to be failures at first glance. 

 

cheers to trying again tomorrow...
