The Differences of a Day

5/17/2018

 
The other day, I had a really good day. My friend had a really bad one.

On any given day, some people you interact with are having a great day and some are having a horrible one – with most falling somewhere in between the two extremes. My point? Everyone we encounter is having some sort of day.

Take my friend and me. We each experienced our days completely differently, despite doing very similar things. We both went to work. We both drove our children to practice. We both did the “mom” duties, the “friend” duties, the “daily” duties. 
When we finally crossed paths, we engaged in a standard, somewhat generic, conversation. We didn’t delve into how our days were going or how we were really feeling. It wasn’t from a place of disinterest or being fake, it was from a place of being “busy” and caught in the rut of just having small talk.

How did we learn that we’d had completely opposite days? Through Facebook, unfortunately. I made a post about my good day. She made a post about her bad day. Despite having connected in person, it was only through social media that our worlds finally came together. Social media has created a place where we are – sometimes – more freeing with information than we are in person. That shouldn’t be the case.

Some things we may want to remember as we navigate each day:
​
  1. Some days are good, some are bad. Tomorrow is a new beginning.
  2. How each person experiences their day is unique and personal.
  3. We have no idea what other people are going through.
  4. We only know what people choose to share with us.
  5. If we can share our thoughts in person, we should.
  6. We all are doing the best we can, every day.
  7. Remember to hold space for others.
  8. Never forget to offer compassion.
  9. Love people on their good days.
  10. Love people on their bad days.
