Within any given week we are going to have good days, and bad ones. Rarely is an entire week perfect\u2026at least I\u2019ve never had a week like that myself. There are up days, and down days\u2026there are stressful days and fun days\u2026there are monotonous tasks that have to get done and there are new and exciting things we can\u2019t wait to do\u2026and all of those things often happen within any seven day period we call a week.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what that has been on my mind today. It wasn\u2019t that today was a particularly bad day, but there were definitely the fair share of frustrations and annoyances and it certainly was as amazing of a day as yesterday was, but it also could have been far worse. And then I realized\u2026yeah, that is life\u2026a big blend of ups and downs and goods and bads\u2026<\/p>\n
I think that is why the opening quote caught my attention today:<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Because no matter how many days may be bad, or just not as good as they could have been, there is ALWAYS something good in every single day to be grateful for and to appreciate.<\/p>\n It may be something as simple as waking up to see the sun shining. Or it may be something as amazing as being able to stand and walk and see and feel. Or perhaps it\u2019s seeing the smile of a dear friend or laughing on the phone with someone you haven\u2019t talked to in a while. It may be a favorite meal or having a meal to eat at all. There is something good in every day. It\u2019s just our job to recognize that and be grateful for that and appreciate its significance in our date.<\/p>\n For me today it was having a trusted friend I could reach out to for some advice. In just a few short minutes this friend was able to share wisdom that helped me tremendously. When we hung up the phone my spirit was lifted and it hit me how blessed I am to have such incredible friends in my life. So it\u2019s really true\u2026every day may not be awesome, but there is something awesome to appreciate in every day we have.<\/p>\n Recognize the good today.<\/p>\n ~Amy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Within any given week we are going to have good days, and bad ones.
