When Your Day Doesn’t Go As Planned…

There are days when you start out with a Plan. You feel good (rare for me without enough Diet Dr. Pepper). You’re ready to rock it. You might even know what you’re getting into. And still get caught off guard.

Life happens. It happens a lot. Sometimes it happens too much. But…

…there are always worse things that can happen to you. Unless you’re actually THE person with the worst problem on the planet. Then it can’t get any worse. But for billions of us? Yeah, we’re not the worst.

So look around. Take a deep breath. Be glad you can take a breath or two. And look around some more. Smile a little or a lot. And if you’re not in actual mud, then be glad you’re not in the mud. Cuz if you’re in the mud, I can’t help you.

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde

So are you living? Or just existing? What are you going to do about it? I’m pretty sure commenting won’t immediately change your life, but it will get you entered into my monthly drawing for an AnaBanana gift basket, which also won’t change your life, but could change how you smell and that’s something, right? Winner is announced the first blog post of the new month.
