Some days would be better if they never were. Today being one of those, I am not saying anything went majorly wrong or anything, it just seemed to be stressful for stresses sake, if that makes sense.
Everyone seemed to be irritating each other or not listening to each other, humans, felines, and canines alike. Jobs took forever to get done and some of those never did, instead they are now filed in the Sharon will do tomorrow file, despite me already having enough on my plate. Yet looking back on it there was no one specific reason why the day should have been like that.
Days are funny things when you are little and waiting for something to happen they felt endless, but when it was school holidays or birthdays they disappeared at twice their normal speed. As an adult its a case of blink and you have lost a month. I always seem to see time as a rugby shaped ball when talking about the year but the one side runs from January to august with April and may being the bulge then September to December the other side with Halloween as the bulging bit. Crazy I know but it may have a lot to do with most of the families and friends birthdays being on the 1st side of the ball and the rest in October or December or it could just be my birthday is in October and there are exactly 12 weeks to the day between my my birthday and Christmas day. A point I have always used to my advantage what I didn't get for my birthday always has and still does get moved to my Christmas list. Anyway back to my point we the human race always look for a way to measure time when in reality its not an exact science , and before I have the worlds scientists on my case let me explain. For a start the principle of hours is purely a man made measure to divide the light and dark hours but as we all know this varies depending on the seasons. Then there are the number of days in the month, why do we have more in some months to another? To take it further there aren't an exact amount of whole days in a year, why ? because the idea of year is again a man made name. All we know is we as a planet take x figure of whatever you want to call it , and we spend x in darkness and x in light subject to where we are on our flight round the sun. As has been scientifically proof that can vary as well due to natural occurrences like massive earth mass disturbances can tip our axis slightly affecting all the about. Now I know some of you will be asking where on earth am I going with all this?
Simple it dawned on me its not the number of days or years we live as that varies like the months number of days person to person. Its what we achieve with our allotted time. I realise we aren't all going to be a Mozart or a Florence Nightingale, but think more butterfly affect, you know a butterfly flaps its wings in China and there is a storm in South America. What I have seen since I started using the Internet and that is the effects good and bad a single tweet or face book post can have not just for the intended person but a mass of people. How people or rather I highlight children such as the late Harry Mosley or the very much alive Vanessa Riddle can make adults wake up to their lives and illnesses, that is such a plus to the world. Then there is always the rough side the trolls as they are now known , but I am not wasting time on them. There is the butterfly effect in practise and perhaps now it is even more affective. It was actually people like those children who made me wake up and start this blog to see if it could do some good, but putting out there how I cope with each day whether it is a good day or duvet day.
So as I said at the beginning of this some days are more trouble than they are worth, or are they? Just because we feel we haven't succeeded or achieved anything worthwhile in our eyes, we don't know what kind of affect we have had not necessarily on those close to us, but maybe further afield, did we smile at a stranger? if so was that the only smile they had received that day or something like that.. This time alive is our time in this paradise, use it wisely because no one gets out of here alive, but we can live on in the memories of others.
