The boring Tuesday you’re complaining about is a day someone out there would trade anything for.

Ordinary days only become recognisable as good once they are behind you, which is an unfair feature of how attention works. Nothing is wrong with finding a Tuesday dull, and this is not an argument for gratitude on command, since forced gratitude tends to curdle. It is a reminder that uneventful is a condition rather than an absence, and that plenty of people are currently hoping for uneventful.

Notice one thing about today that is quietly working, and say what it is without attaching a conclusion. That noticing is available on dull days and almost nowhere else.
