“Sometimes you’re the windshield, and sometimes you’re the bug.”

That’s a line from a 1991 Dire Straits song (covered, better I think, by Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1992).

It’s a good metaphor for the days when we’re kicking goals (or smashing bugs), compared to the days that we feel like a smashed bug ourselves.

Fortunately, we do get a chance to be both (while the actual non-metaphorical bug, well, doesn’t). 

So when you feel like the bug smashed on a windshield, there’s a very good chance you can come back at 100% or better.  Remember that this too shall pass.
