Since I started out my day on a negative note (first cursing
my husband in my head, then cursing my job out loud followed by an “I hate
today” post on Facebook), I figured it would be best to list the good things
that happened today. You know, trying to find the balance in it all.
·
An expected connection
·
A good laugh shared with my lovely colleagues
(which came on the heels of a negative client experience)
·
A (somewhat creative) mind that can re-position a
message to make it stronger
·
The HUGE hug I got from my nearly 3 year-old
when I got to daycare
·
A trip to downtown Nashville with my incredibly
curious and free toddler (who talks to everyone we walk past)
·
Dinner with Frozen – and being able to make my
little boy smile when I sing along
·
The unsolicited “I love you, momma”
·
The returned “how is yours?” when I asked “How
is your dinner?” (he is really listening!!)
And, while it hasn’t happened yet, I anticipate enjoying some
quiet time as I sit in front of the computer doing more work and catching up on
my favorite new guilty pleasure – House of Lies.
Sometimes all it takes is a few hours to clear an angry and
overwhelmed mind – and come to a slightly
new perspective (who’s kidding – perfection isn’t worth trying to attain at
this point).

You've found the one true key to happiness: recognize the ordinary bits of joy amidst the chaos, and consciously appreciate them. It's all too easy to miss the little things -- a stranger who lets you merge in traffic, a child's smile, your mate's taking out the garbage without being asked... but they have the power to turn around how you feel about the whole day.
