Always Something Good

Some days are just tougher than others. They aren’t all fun and games all of the time. That’s OK. They can’t all be good.

Or can they?

Even bad days are good days. After all, if you make it to 11:40 at night and have time to write down a few thoughts, then things can’t be all that bad, can they? Besides, the rough spots turn into smooth spots. The rough spots enhance appreciation of the smooth spots. So, nothing is wholly bad.

Like today. There are no horror stories for the day, just some rough spots. That said, we managed to get a few things done that might not otherwise have been completed. That’s good; it’s always nice to cross something off of the “to do list.” More importantly, being able to sit here and write makes me appreciate the life I have. I am grateful.

I have learned that gratitude today turns into abundance tomorrow. You can’t have one without the other. Just being alive to experience all of the pleasure and all of the pain is reason enough to wake up the next morning. It’s worth it just to see what will happen next.

There is always something good around the corner.
