A Good Day

What do you consider to be a good day? Do great and notable things need to occur? I’ve come to believe that everyday I wake up is a good day. Even more so when, at it’s end, I’ve seen more good than bad.

I lay my head upon the pillow

Having done all I set out to do

Able to rest easy, secure in the knowledge

I have done my duty

Accomplished my goals

Stood as a good soldier, a good steward

Over what has been placed

In my hands, my responsibility

Job, family, home, friends

Obligations fulfilled

I can close my eyes; say a silent prayer of thanks

This has been a good day

No calls to tell of illness or death

Financial troubles, homes lost

Layoffs or divorces

Teenagers in trouble or out of control

Seems as though for now

All is on an even keel

For those I know and love

Turning off the ringer on my phone

I breathe deeply and exhale…

Today has been a good day

A gift, every moment precious

A day to live, love and forgive

Let go of past hurts and disappointments

Always grateful for what I have and

For the tragedy that failed to occur

The accident that could have happened,

And didn’t this day

Still breathing and above ground

Health and strength to do those things

I needed to

Drifting off to sleep, exhausted I realize

Today was a good day

It would be nice if every day was like that. (smiling) But life is life. Have a good one!

These are words of wisdom, my friend. Putting a smiling face on everything is a virtue. Stay blessed my friend.
