One Thing Can Change Everything...

I remember a sticker which I saw on the back of a car it read 'I am having a great day, watch some b*stard spoil it' Because of my mindset, and I don't deserve happiness, when it comes along, straight away I am thinking, right what's going to go wrong, I will look for the negative in any given situation. If I am having a good day, I am on edge, wondering what or who will spoil it for me. Because for me, happiness is always short-lived. I see it as getting a big box of dark chocolates, and I pick out the only bad one in the whole box!

Oh yes many many times that has happened to me or my husband. We are having a great day and one person or something just destroyed the day. Many times it has been money that has brought down our day.

I'm not sure, but I'm sure I have.. One thing I do know, is once in a while we come across someone who feels it is their prerogative to ruin someone else's days.. Sometimes many someone else's. It's good if we can simply ignore them.. Of course that depends on whether or not they have influence upon anything in our life..

yes! the day i found out we were going to be able to move into our new home. another time when i found out that i got my 100% disability rating.

i work in the public so if you can imagine it only takes one customer. I can be having an amazing day and then I'll get this one customer that either insults me personally or gives me a real hard time about something and it just throws me. I've been doing this long enough that I do get on track again fairly quickly but it does throw you. Funny how we can experience 100 positive things and it takes but one very negative thing to cause turmoil. Hope you have a better day tomorrow! You will.

Yesterday, despite the heat, I was feeling alright. But one call at 9pm jusy made be go nuts. It was a call from my mother in law. Apparently she threw out of the balcony my father in law's keys so that my son and his cousin could come up the house coz they no longer have a maid. And she was freaking mad coz the keys were not returned to her and my father in law was getting mad. After all the calls I made and talked to both of my son, I found out that my mother in law was mistaken. Obviously coz of old age, she misplaced the keys which he threw out when his youngest son came and it was not the kids whom she have thought. I just felt real bad coz she was saying ill-words to both kids as if she does not love them. At her age, she sure has such a knack for bad mouthing people. And I had difficulties of falling asleep. Early this morning, my phone was ringing, I know that it is her and i didn't take the call. I hang the phone as soon as the ring stopped.

Yep. And it's usually because one person makes a thoughtless comment. And then in an instant the great day you've had previously fades into the background. We can tell ourselves not to let us get us down, but that is easier said than done. I hope things work out okay for you.

This sounds like the pessimist in me! I would be having a great day, and a lot of things go my way, but at the back of my mind I'd start to worry because something bad would change everything. I hope that whatever it was that changed your day, you were able to recover from it!

Yes I have had days like that. And it seems now that most days for me start out real good and then something happens and puts a real damper on things.

I haven't had that day yet, I hope I will have the greatest day soon...

The answer to that question is let me see. Yes! Yes, if you change modems you may not be able to get on the internet afterwards. Hello Mr. Tech support. His name is David by the way. That was yesterday but I've had other changing experiences in my life yep.

I had one of those days, then it went down hill dinged up my car, and lost $50. I ended up just going to bed, then slept it off.

Yes,I have had really great days that got ruined just because of a small thing. Usually it'll be my brother who'll ruin the day for me. He'll play pranks or really annoy me.

I remembered once at my birthday my friends surprised me and celebrated it for me. Everything was wonderful, I felt so happy and called my BF to tell him what my friends had did for me. However, it wasn't a happy talk that I had a quarrel with him. Everything was ruined on that day.

We had an experience like that recently... a legal one. My husband has been fighting his ex in court over medical bills for their teenage daughter. She wants us to pay a VERY large % while she pays practically nothing....on top of the child support she already gets and tax advantages. Long story short...our attorney said everything looked awesome for us...well, my husband lost..BIG TIME...even has to pay her attorney fees. UGH! So my husband goes in to court that morning very optimistic and comes out completely deflated!

Thankfully it has been quite a while since something like this has happened to me, but I have to say that it is something that I have had happen in my life several times. The last time that it happened was after I took Paul for his vaccines back during the summer. I was having a good time with the kids and we were on our way to get a milk shake after his shots and I ended up getting rear ended and injured in the accident. That really not only changed the dynamic of the rest of that particular day, it changed the dynamic of my life for several months because of all the doctors appointments that I had to make and such.

Yes, it happened to me many times but the one that I remember the most happened during our 7th anniversary. I woke up early and happily prepared food for that very special day. My gift was already prepared a week before that day. Later in the afternoon, my boyfriend arrived. I could see that he is as hapy as I am. But when were in the middle of eating, his brother called and said he accidentally dropped his car keys in the canal outside their gate. He was a priest and needed to leave for an important appointment that day. He asked my boyfriend to drive him back to the seminary to get the car key duplicate. And so he was not able to have a taste of the dessert I made and left immediately after eating the food in his plate.

Yeah days like that are awful. I had a day like that the day I had the accident. It was a beautiful day out so I thought my daughter and I could go to the park while we did laundry at the laundry mat. The day went well all the way up until we left the park and then it ruined the rest of the evening. I hope that things are going better for you now.

Yes I've had that happen. It just ruined my day but the sun came up the next day and it was a brand new day. It's like 'Of no!' And everything starts cascading down and down. I just had to suck it up and know that it wasn't the end of the world.

yeah.. I remember one scenario wherein I posted a happy post in my facebook wall and everybody made their happy comments when suddenly one bad comment appeared and ruined the whole happy post and comment...
