One of those days…

The other evening my youngest daughter came home from her dog grooming job and she was dressed like she just came back from the gym.  I asked her what was up with the clothes she was wearing and she just tilted her head and said “Dad, I had a really bad day alright?!?”.   My curiosity piqued, I asked her what happened.  Apparently, a big dog she was working on pooped on her, and not just a little, a lot (I’ll spare you the gory details).  She explained one of the other workers lent her a spare change of clothes to get through the day.  It made me think, we all have days when we get pooped on in one way or another.  Every job I have ever had has its own version of getting pooped on and over time I have come to realize that these bad days give us perspective to view and appreciate the good days.  I tried to share these thoughts with her, but she would have none of it.  I will try again after the stink has passed.
