It's a phrase we've all used and we all know what it means, but my question is why? Why do we have a special phrase to describe a day that has been less than optimal? Why don't we say, "Yeah! It's been one of those days!" when we do well on a test or see a good friend or get a nice letter or find an awesome parking spot? I find myself telling people about the bad things that happen during my day rather than exclaiming over the good parts of my day. I apologize for all those who have had to listen to me bemoan my happy and blessed life. How hypocritical.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I had a close friend leave me a happy message on facebook.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because my boss was in a very good mood.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because my coworker made me laugh.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I got to go to Book of Mormon.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I bought a delicious sandwich (thanks Dad).
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I got to laugh with my friend during History.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I ran into my future roommate and good friend.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because we ate dinner together. She made me laugh.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because we ran into my bishop and chatted with him.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I had mail.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I witnessed an act of service.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because I got to go buy groceries (thanks again Dad).
Yesterday was "one of those days" because my FHE brothers came over.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because we learned a new, fun game.
Yesterday was "one of those days" because my home teachers visited. Talking with them always cheers me up.
Yesterday was "one of those days" and I am so grateful that it was. Sure there were some harder things to deal with, but the tender mercies outnumber the trials 1,000 to 1.
So, thanks for reading and I hope you have "one of those days."
