TODAY IS A GOOD DAY

Good days come with a fanfare; there is a palpable energy in the air that instils a feeling that the day is full of possibility. Bad days however usually come without warning; there is no time to prepare a defence. They sneak in under cover of darkness and by the time the day starts traps have been prepared and laid.

There are two ways of dealing with bad days, you can hunker down, throw as much as you can between you and the day and just wait it out, or you can determine the day in the words of Dolly Parton, “If you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain”.  In other words some of the sweetest moments in life can happen when you are battening down for a storm.

There is nothing you can do to stop the day unfolding, it will pass as you expected, better than you expected or just different to how you expected, but how you view it will determine whether it is a good day or a bad day.

If you made something happen, no matter how small, a meal, a smile, a thank you, a line of washing blowing in the breeze or an empty in tray, it has been a successful day, and success is empowering. Achievements are stepping stones across a bad day, when you reach one you are on your way to another, step on a few more stones and as you look back you can say I did it, I am doing it. Before you know it you will have made it through the day, and the satisfaction of achievement will make it feel like its been a good day.

We need to know that every morning does not promise a perfect day, but with a liitle effort it can produce  the perfect moment and that one moment can make it a good day.
