Think of those days that just don't seem to go right. Nothing terrible happened. Nobody died; you didn't get injured; you didn't fail out of school or lose your job. Sometimes there are just those days where every little thing seems to go wrong. You wake up a little later than planned and rush through your morning, hit traffic, spill your iced tea, and then the food store doesn't have the right cut of chicken for you to prepare your dinner. In the long run, these things will make no difference, but today they matter because today is one of those days. Those days are the "some days."

On the "some days," I often catch myself thinking things like "it's just one of those days," or "I'm just having a rough day" with no major reason why. I'll try to rationalize with myself and remind myself that there really is no need to be so upset. In fact, on those days I can create a laundry list of everything that goes wrong, but on other days these things wouldn't phase me. I do not quite understand how these some days work, but it seems we all have them. We all have those days when we think every little thing goes wrong. Our attempts at positivity only lead to more disappointment and we find ourselves bogged down by life's inconveniences.

Maybe there are times when the "some days" seem to go on for days and suddenly you've had "some week." Nobody likes the "some days." An important thing to remember, though, is that these days are not the end of the world. You can set your alarm a little earlier tomorrow, buy another iced tea, and make some burgers instead. Most importantly, remember that every bad day is only 24 hours. There is always the chance to go to bed and plan to wake up and try again tomorrow. Along with the "some days" are a lot of beautiful days filled with opportunities to be happy, connect with others, enjoy the world, and embrace all that life has to offer. Next time life doesn't seem to be throwing you one of those beautiful days, remember that the "some days" are just that. Some days are just "some days."
