Today is a good day for a good day. I don’t know where I heard
or saw this the first time, but it makes so much sense. There are days, such as many days lately, that
are a little bit difficult.
Relationships are on edge, things are not falling into place as we would
like, pending items continue to be pending...you know those days. We all have them. What can we do? Relationships don’t depend on us or our doing
alone. Pending items cannot be
rushed. And our life cycle continues. What are we to do? How do we cope on those just dreary,
lackluster or even sad and frustrating days when there’s not a whole lot of
action we can take, but know we must just wait?
I read a story about a
businessman flying back from a business trip.
As he waited for his luggage, he saw a big family, wife and lots of children,
eagerly looking for the dad. When they
spotted him, they ran to him; all hugged him, from the youngest to the eldest
teenager. All were holding on to him
everywhere, his arms, legs, embracing and kissing him. The dad in turn told them how happy he was to
finally see them and showered them with compliments about how proud he was of
them, how much they’d grown and how beautiful his wife looked! The businessman had to ask the dad, ‘how long
were you gone?’ The dad answered, ‘one
day.’ At this answer the businessman was
stunned and replied, ‘I hope someday I can have that with my family.’ And the dad answered, ‘Don’t hope, decide!’
Decide! What a great concept. So today, instead of hoping or wishing this
will be a great day, let’s decide it will be!
Today is a great day for a good day.
