The Journey Inward

Have you ever had a day,
like I had last week,
where everything goes wrong,
and the outlook is bleak?

This day could have bugged me,
one thing, then the next.
Was the Universe against me,
Had I been hexed?

But far from annoying,
this one made me laugh,
one thing after another,
inconvenient gaffes.

I sent my friend pictures,
as the events mounted up,
to share my misadventures,
and make her crack up.

For bad days are better,
when you share with a friend.
who totally gets you,
and just comprehends.

Things don't happen TO you,
I try to remember,
they happen FOR you,
like a bright, guiding ember.
