Potential

Monday had all sorts of potential to be a “Monday.”  The computer was acting up; there was an error, not to my favor, on one of my utility bills, had a conversation about some of my “stuff” in the past that kicked up some emotions, and some silliness on a project.  I felt that short, cranky, bitchy feeling attempting to build throughout the day, and I just kept confronting it as I was determined to maintain my joy and goodness for the day.  Sure enough, it did turn around.  Lauren sent me some pics of Tristen’s first day at pre-school, had a nice dinner; great conversation and lots of laughs with Sally, and enjoyed some quiet time before a nice restful night.  I woke up this morning with all the nonsense in the past where it should be.

Things hit us each day that have the potential to take us off our game.  There are also things that hit us that have the potential to make the day even better than you thought it could be. Do you choose to dwell on the crap of the day, or do you choose to focus on the blessings and goodness each day?  It’s a matter of where you put your focus.
