Have A Good Day
May 19th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
Mike, my husband encountered an unfortunate circumstance at work and came home a bit discouraged last night. Even after a delicious dinner he was having a hard time shaking it off.
This morning when I got out of bed, I found him reading in our great room. I walked over to him and said, “It’s going to be a good day!” and kissed him on the cheek. He signed and nodded his head in agreement as I continued walking toward the coffee maker. As I approached the kitchen, I said it again, “It’s going to be a good day!”.
I poured a cup of freshly ground and brewed Starbucks and turned toward the refrigerator to top it with a skosh of skim milk…my favorite! I could taste it before I even had a sip.
After opening the door to grab the milk, I found an orange colored notepaper taped to the half-full jug of milk with a handwritten message from my daughter. It read, “Sorry mom, I forgot to put the milk back in the fridge last night, do you think it will still be okay?”
Knowing it would not POSSIBLY be okay, I moaned loudly. I sighed. I growled. I was BUMMED!
A voice came sweetly from the great room. ”It’s going to be a great day, It’s going to be a great day”.
Right then I knew I had a choice… and so I made one. It was going to be a good day!
You have a good day too.
