Putting The Skids On A Bad Day

How many times have you begun the day on the wrong foot right from the very start? The automatic coffee maker makes the coffee but the filter got caught between the coffee grinds and the hot water making all of your coffee gritty. This while you realize you may have set your alarm to wake up earlier than usual so you attempt to go back to bed only to be woken up by either the cats fighting, dogs barking, or children screaming. As you get out of bed to deal with the morning madness that really would not have happened had you not tried to be so on top of things, that you stub your toe. Enough!

My father always told me that sometimes in life when things just are not going your way, you have to step back and punt. For those of you not familiar with the game of American Football, when a team can no longer accomplish its intended goal which is to get a new set of downs, sometimes they have to give the ball back to the other team and try again next time. In other words sometimes you just need to stop to reassess the situation instead of continuing to plow forward, making mistakes. If you can do this early enough you will literally alter the day towards a more positive direction.

The song, “You Had A Bad Day” for me is a song I could do without because it only appears to enhance the negative energy one may already be experiencing. Like adding a magnifying glass under a hot August sun, to a piece of paper, some reminders for me, I can do without. If I really want to make sense of the luck I am having even during the worst of days all I really need to do is look to my wonderful teachers I work with, the mentally and physically challenged.

For many of them, they can’t even wipe there bottom or change there tampon thus needing assistance every time they need to go to the bathroom.

What about those who we watch on television who’s lives have been altered because of what we as a society have inflicted upon Mother Nature thus assisting her in making the hundreds of tornados and hurricanes as well as extreme forms of normal weather patterns which crush small towns, leaving those of such places to wander the streets in shock and awe to what has just happened.

Things could be worse for each and every one of us and if using the word worse is the wrong word to use then lets go with the word “challenging”. Mistakes happen, things aren’t always going to go the way you want them too, and sometimes you are going to wake up on the wrong side of the bed but if you and I, when such moments begin to take shape, can let go of our personal ego empire as we step back to count our personal blessings while looking at the world around us, we can put the skids on having a bad day simply because we decided to punt the ball for now with the excitement of knowing that we will get the ball back and when we do, we will do better because we have come up with a better solution on how to take on our day.

May your day be a beautiful one.

Blessed Be-
