Perspective

Have you ever had a day,
When the dog peed on the bed and you had to wash EVERYTHING,
The iron fell on the cement floor and cracked,
You forgot to thaw the meat for dinner,
You JUST missed the email you were waiting for,
And you didn't realize that the reddish brown powder you were cleaning up was ground habanero chile pepper so you spent two hours with hands that tingled like they were just waking up,
But because you went for a walk with your little brother and his dog,
Down to the beach,
And found a perfect piece of pearly shell
That was just like the sunset you were watching
While the dog splashed in the river
And your brother threw rocks in the water to see the ripples,
It was actually a really lovely day?
