Have you ever sunbathed, when it is so hot that your can feel your skin tighten, it becomes hard to draw a full breath, your lungs fill with short bursts of hot, dry air. Then, all of a sudden the orange glow you see behind your closed eyes goes dark, leaving just white spots, then a cool light breeze appears as if from nowhere giving you an unexpected shiver. Eventually you open your eyes slowly and once focus as been regained you see a cloud has drifted between you and the sun that just moments ago had enveloped you in such warmth. You study the cloud which has so selfishly chosen to make it's way between you to work out how log you think this interruption may last and calculate as to whether it is worth staying where you are or rather take the opportunity to do something else.
Well, that is the best analogy I can find to describe my day so far. I woke from an uncharacteristically peaceful sleep feeling refreshed and positive, the morning routine passed without incident and the path to the end of the day seemed clear and full of opportunity. It was then that the cloud came in the form of somebody who was intent on bursting my bubble and cloud over my positive mood. Unfortunately, the succeeded. I am now waiting for this cloud to pass so that I may once again feel the warmth of the sun, a feeling I have missed so much. As for the person that caused this, I feel sorry for them as they have without doubt moved on to shed their negativity over some other unsuspecting person. What a shame some people can only find happiness in the misery of others.
