Happy Friday everyone and welcome to another week of doors. It feels weird to even create a doors post on a Friday but I somehow completely missed Thursday. I was in work today when I realised it was Friday and that I had completely forgotten about yesterday being Thursday Doors day!

This week I have one door to show from Belfast. I walked past this door and immediately fell in love with the graffiti caption. I feel that it is a fantastic statement to live by and one that I think about quite regularly. If I’m having a bad day, a sad day or wishing I had more in life, I always like to think of this sentiment and remind myself that it “could be worse”.
Be grateful for what you have, especially in these trying times. If you have clean water, a roof over your head, a loving family, clean air to breathe, legs to walk, good health, not trapped in a war zone etc. you get my point. Just be grateful and appreciate that things could always be worse. There are people out there who have truly a lot to be sad about. There’s always worse off sadly.
On that note, have a lovely weekend and appreciate the little things in life.

Thanks for joining us, Wayne. Friday is as good as Thursday – I think that’s the best thing Norm (Founder of Thursday Doors) did when he established the challenge. Everyone gets busy and runs out of time. I really like the door. I can imagine having a laugh, even if I was running toward it to escape a problem. It is a good sentiment to think about. We’re rarely so bad off that things couldn’t get worse.
I am reminded of an episode of M*A*S*H where a soldier complains that “this is the worst day of my life” and Col Potter replies, “Don’t be silly. You’ll have lots worse days than this.”
I hope you have a great weekend.
