A GOOD DAY

Well I do have to admit that goodness comes in different forms. And one that I cherish the most is when it is a good day.

Admittedly, I must confess that my idea of a good day might not agree with everyone. There is just something that gives smiles when it involves what I call the little things.

Oh I know there are the big dreams. You know where you win the lottery or get some other windfall that makes it very nice indeed.

But the problem is that those types of good days just don't happen when we like. They only happen when fate strikes.

We're talking about the same fate that loves to play sick jokes. Yeah, like giving you a flat tire when your spare is flat. And you can't fix the tire because it doesn't have enough tread left.

Just we need to be able to look for it more. And that can be difficult if our minds are focused on expecting storms all the times.

Okay, maybe I'm getting a little preachy I guess. But methinks it needs to be said. Perhaps it won't cure you of seeing darkness all the time, but you might take a few seconds to look for the light along the way.

That is a good day in my mind. See it isn't as hard as we might imagine. You just have to be content to refocus your eyes.

Which is not always as easy as we hope. Only we can at times be sure if we don't let ourselves only see the part of life we think dominates. This is a battle we have to struggle with and hopefully we don't lose the wa
