A perfectly Good Day...

Ever have a Perfectly Good Day shot to hell? Here's what you can do about it!
A perfectly Good Day...
The sun is out, the clouds are a bright blue, there's a slight breeze ruffling through your hair (which looks GREAT, by the way), and all is right with your world.

You've got a little jingle in your pocket, your sweetie is DEEPLY in love with you, all of your friends think you're the best, and you're living large...

Then some idiot gets in your way!

They're not really idiots, by the way - they're just someone who isn't having the really great day you're having!

Rem last week when your sweetie was MAD at you...and you said some stupid things in the heat of the moment?

You do?

Then you can relate - this person who's just "ruined" your "perfectly good day" is just doing what YOU did, back then!

First, be understanding, not angry...
Remembering when you did the same thing as this person can really help...
understanding someone else's troubles and relating to them not only makes you a better person, but helps you deal with your troubles better, because you'll deal with them in a casual way, not an angry one!

Getting angry can REALLY screw things up for you, so just don't do it!

Next thing, forgive and forget...

If you can understand the person who just ruined your day, then it's EASY to forgive them - after all, they're just doing what YOU did, back in the day!

Now, forget about it!

If you followed these steps, you're now back on that beautiful road, with the warm sun, pretty clouds, and that great hair, billowing in the breeze...
