Mass Chaos

Today has been a day of mass chaos. It started by not having my wallet when I needed to pay for groceries. It was quickly followed up with daycare calling me about my son having pink eye. My DH had to take a vacation day so I could peacefully work. Lunch time came with busy errands and planning for the upcoming cookie booth campaign. Things are definitely crazy.

However, I have to keep things in perspective. Yes, I will admit that I did complain to the respective sources (family and friends) but I should not have. Instead, I should have taken a deep breath and counted all the positives. The positives are what we really rely on instead of the negative. Sure, when someone asks us how are day is or was, we immediately reply with all our negatives. Fast forward, two days, a week, a month, a year, will the negatives (I am talking the small negatives) even matter. I will bet my shiny French franc the answer is no. Instead, you will remember the quarter you picked up when you were jogging in the morning or how the lovely picture your child made you at school.

We need to remember that life is fleeting and we must cherish what we have. We will only remember this one life and we have to make the most of it. Don't get stuck in the black swamp of negativity. The only thing that you will receive from that is an ulcer. Don't get me wrong, I am not Polly Sunshine. There are days that I am the Queen of Negativity. However, I am trying to turn my outlook around. I am trying to show the divine that I am all about the present, the love, the grace. It is difficult and I do stumble. It is a work in process but I know that I can do it. I was once told this: "Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?"
