SOME DAYS ARE HARDER...

         


than others. I have no idea why. I can’t point to one single thing that makes a particular day harder than another day. Today, Saturday, was a harder day than any I’ve had so far in 2023. Again, I don’t know why. I just know that I didn’t feel a lot of joy no matter what I was doing. Walking Kuma, chucking the ball up the street for him in sunshine that fell on my back and actually made me hot…nope, didn’t feel particularly joyful.

          None of the other accomplishments of today brought joy either, i.e., getting two weeks-worth of laundry done, making myself a nice dinner, transferring over a thousand pictures to the frame the kids bought me for Christmas, and attempting to figure out the PhotoStick Omni that came in the mail yesterday. Maybe it was the frustration engendered by the PhotoStick Omni. Yep, I’m going to go with that. It came with hardly any instructions, the link to the online help wasn’t very helpful and just made me more frustrated.

          According to all the hoopla I read about the PhotoStick Omni, all I had to do as plug it in and it would sort through all my photographs, eliminate any duplicates and organize them perfectly for me. What this thing actually is and does is backup everything you have on your computer…even the files in the recycle bin. I do have the option of returning it for a full refund minus the shipping costs…I may do that unless the shipping costs are HUGE.

          Maybe tomorrow will hold more joy. I’ll go to bed tonight with that thought at the forefront of my brain. When I get up in the morning, I’ll just CHOOSE to have a much more joyful day.
