Thrilling Thursday

It's a brand new day! The sky is blue, I'm wearing my new linen trousers (they were a bargain too!), I've lost a kilo in the last week, my deadlines have been met - okay, nearly - and I'm happy. And it shows.

And then, I walk into the office and Jeej actually asks me why I'm so happy. Wow! Am I really that transparent? At the grand old age of "oldenoughtoknowbetter", I must now attempt to gain an air of mystery!

I don't do mysterious very well though. I'm too hopeless. I'm transparent as Pamela Anderson's t-shirt in a car wash! I crave depth. Depth and mystery. I've got a degree, I can converse with company directors and look like I know what the hell they're talking about, I've had a bad marriage, I should have depth dammit!

But really, deep down, under my somewhat scary exterior (apparently, women with a sense of humour and red streaks are scary, according to a "friend") there is someone who can be cheered up with little things. Little things like an uninterrupted hour to watch a favourite sitcom, breakfast in bed, good news, an unexpected compliment, an email from a friend, a smile from a good-looking stranger or even piping hot 'pakodas' on a rainy day.

Today is one of those days. And I'm walking on air!

Plus , you know how it is...a positive attitude may not always work, but it annoys enough people around me to make it worth my while!
