100 Little Pleasures of (Touring) Life: #12


Gilford, NH:  

Most days, it's easy to find the down side to everything
(and some people make sure to relay that information to me).  
I'm all about acting as a sounding board, 
but when I've done all I can 
and it's STILL not good enough, 
I have to wonder... 
will it ever be good enough?  
will I ever make everyone happy?
I know I can't, 
 yet I still keep trying....
not sure if I am a glutton for punishment
or just an idiot.
Or maybe it's that no matter what others say,
I don't know any other way to work 
- or live - 
than to keep trying and do my best,
over and over again.

It's times like these that a little something sweet 
 will catch my eye and remind me:
it's gonna be ok.

From the 100 Little Pleasures of (Touring) Life:

#12:  Spotting a little something sweet that makes you smile.

Today's sweet treat was found at catering
in the form of little dog salt & pepper shakers
(held together with magnetic noses)
which helped me shake off the funk,
if only for a moment.
