What's In a Day?

It would be ridiculous to assume that every day is a great day. Some days are downright crummy….other days are filled with touches of absolute brilliance. Sometimes I find it helpful to string those moments of brilliance together and make a patchwork of my best days. It’s also very helpful to try to spend even the tiniest bit of time each day with each of those things. The in between bits that aren’t so good….well, they become less significant if I can focus on those wonderful distractions.

We live in times where we are bombarded with negativity. You can find it anywhere and everywhere….the local paper, the radio, the television, the internet, even contacts from friends. These are times when it seems the world thrives on negativity; you rarely hear about the “good stuff”.

Here is some of the good stuff in my life…..the things that make me get up in the morning and try to make each day better than the last. I hope you have lots of good stuff in your life too!!

This is how I start my day!! A hot cup of coffee brought to me every morning by this wonderful man!

These sweet little souls Chloe, Zack and Kayla bring more joy to my life than a person could want! How lucky am I?!! Today Miss Kayla looked up and spotted my new blown glass hot air balloon. The morning sun shone through it and it looked glorious. She was mesmerized. It was one of those special moments. Twice. The first special moment was when my Beloved gave it to me on our anniversay at the Cape.

If I can read and knit for an hour each day, I am a happy person. If I can do it for longer, I am even ecstatic! I love this book and I love this knitting project.

There will always be more wonderful books and more scrumptious knitting projects as well!!

These puppies bring pure joy and brilliance to every single day. They are so much fun and such little troublemakers....all at the same time. What's not to love about a puppy??! Three? Triple the fun! Working with them for a while each day is inspiring and invigorating...and I believe it

lowers blood pressure too!

So...try to find the fun and inspirational parts of each day and string them together. It will become a patchwork of joy, love, discovery and sheer brilliance and it will far 0utweigh the negative bits!!
