We all have those days.

Your best friend told the secret that she swore she’d always keep.

Your boss complains that you’re late on a project when you’re two days early.

The kids shout that they hate you because you won’t let them go to the movies, and later when they’ve gone to bed your partners does too.

When it feels like the whole world is against you, as it sometimes does, there is a remedy.

Go to the beach.

Head for the hills.

Drive out to the lake.

Seek out other, happy people and photograph their joy. And even if you’re not turning cartwheels in the sand or jumping for joy yourself, catch some of that feeling and let it soothe your heart.
