Turn It Up!

Yesterday morning my daughter woke me up and hour too early, it was cold and snowy, and I had a flat tire while taking the kids to school.  BUT, I had an awesome day.

I took my wife out for coffee at a cute little coffee shop, worked for a couple of hours, spent the afternoon playing with my kids, and then took my family out to dinner. It was a lovely day. Plus, I am very healthy and I feel great, probably better than I have in years.

I have everything I need and more. I have two beautiful and hilarious kids, a wonderful wife, a nice house, two cars that run, and a ton of crap I don’t need.

I have so much to be thankful for. I can’t imagine letting an inconvenience like a flat tire, loss of sleep, or bad weather ruin my day. I could have (and most people do) focused on the negative and the inconveniences, but instead I looked at all the positive things and all the things I have to be thankful for. I can’t help but have a smile on my face. Why wouldn’t I, Life is Good.

Too often people stub their toe when getting out of bed and the rest of their day is shot. Nothing goes right because they are only looking at all the bad things that are happening to them. The more you focus on it the more that those bad things will continue to happen and the worse it all seems.

Hold your head up and let those little things roll off of you. There is too much to be thankful for and life is too short to worry about the little things.

Life is Good so Turn it Up!
