Today is a Good Day for a Good Day

After reviewing the past year, I think we all could agree we’re thankful for fresh starts and new beginnings. I’m incredibly thankful for 2017. More than anything, I’m focused on creating margin. Margin for things I desire, breathing room for self-care, and gratitude. There are studies that directly correlate gratitude to the amount of happiness we feel, the words we speak, and the ways we think. Over the past year, I’ve been confronted with hard feedback. It was phrased as a simple question. “Why is life overwhelmingly hard? Where is joy found in your life?” Confronted with this reality from a dear friend, I’ve made it one of my goals to find the inner optimist within. Life is really good, things are looking up, and I’m choosing to be thankful for the ordinary moments. Sometimes it takes practice. What are three things you are thankful for? Why is today a good day? These are questions I’ve been asking myself every evening and I’m finding a new depth of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment to the nuances that fills my days.

This Monday, remember, today is a good day for a good day.
