REthink Wine Blog

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea by the famous Dutch author, Hans Christian Anderson.  The beautiful and saintly Princess had to so sensitive that she could feel a pea disturbing her sleep, while the pea was buried beneath several mattresses.

That is how my day went today.  I generally felt annoyed most of the day, though there was nothing more significant than a pea under the mattress causing my discomfort.  As I sat at my desk trying to be productive, and instead feeling distracted, I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what was in my craw.  True, my favorite baseball team is not doing well, I had my worst round of golf in a long time yesterday, I’m going to Missouri to visit the in-laws this weekend, my son won’t answer my phone calls, the dog doesn’t feel well, gas prices are too high, the economy is in recession, and I can’t get excited by any of the Presidential candidates.  But really, is any of that reason to complain?  Probably not.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has a “pea under the mattress day”.  So how do you deal with it?  Me, I write a blog, open a bottle of Tamber Bey Estate Cab, and kick back with my wife and puppy.  I find that my level of irritation is inversely related to the amount of wine I drink.

Enjoy your day,

Mitch
