Is there such a thing as a bad day? Well I guess there is really but most of the time the bad day is already in us before we get out of bed on the wrong side.
Take today. I had a good day. Every oyster has to have a little grit to make the pearl so even good days
must have a little grit in the form of another person. As I said I had a good day. I was like a steam train on an outing to the seaside, happy and full of purpose and determined to smile and laugh all day long. But my steam train got stopped just for awhile at a junction to let another train pass on its way. The other train? A sad old grumpy train determined to travel on its track and make every one else miserable. I waved it good bye and got my way once again...anyway enough of the parable.
I started the day in the doctor’s waiting room and all the news I got was good. Then onto the best place in town for a great low-carb’ breakfast (I have shed over 7 kilos in a month) and let me say that Steve’s Ye Olde Cafe in Newland Street is the best place in Town, Witham, Essex that is. And you know what makes good food even better? It’s the people that cook it and the people who serve. Waitress Helen says "Good manners don’t cost anything and they get you far in life". She delivered my bacon and eggs with a smile. I could taste the smile. Had lunch at home with my wife...another blessed moment. Then for supper a visit to the Food Company to buy amazing Gorgonzola, Lamb Koftas, Portobello Mushrooms washed down with Swedish Strawberry and Lime Cider - fantastic. Tonight I just know I shall fall asleep with a smile on my face. Goodnight what a great day...oh that grumpy sad train...forgotten already.
