Well, it's January. The holidays have passed (they sure came fast and went away even more quickly!). This is the time of year when time just seems to drag. There are good days and there are bad days.
I'm grateful to have bad days because they make the good days seem even better. Some days are gray and kind of depressing. Other days are sunny and inspiring. My husband might be really ill on a bad day, but then there will come a good day when he's more like his old self, and I forget that his time with me is limited.
Actually, there's always something... even on a bad day... that I can say happened to me and was good. I've made a practice of counting my blessings every night before I go to sleep, and thinking of at least two things that happened this day that I would call successful.
Often, I can come up with more than two things... yes, even on a bad day. Good days are exceptional! Bad days are really just good days that we didn't recognize.
So far, January has been a good month. I try to greet each new day as the potential for a GREAT DAY. And it usually is. If you expect to have a GREAT DAY, chances are... you WILL.
