It’s July. Hot, sweltering, and dusty (at least in New Mexico). We’re between Independence Day and Labor Day: a long time before any freebie days off. Our jobs are stressful, our lives drive us crazy. What on earth could there possibly be to be happy about?
Glad you asked.
1. At least for today, the oil spill has stopped leaking its toxins into the beautiful gulf.
2. Our pets will always be happy to see us, no matter how rough our day has been.
3. We are not yet through this recession, but we have soldiered on in spite of it.
4. We have strong minds and mostly useful bodies.
5. We have air conditioning.
6. Even if we don’t like our jobs, we’re putting food on our tables with the money we earn.
7. We’re capable of learning from our mistakes if we choose to.
8. Some of our professional relationships give us a reason to get up and go to work each day.
9. Things are changing every minute. We cannot know what wonderful event is around the corner, but we can choose to believe it is there.
10. Someone, somewhere loves every one of us.
These are just ten things from the top of my head. I’ll bet you can come up with at least ten things of your own. And I guarantee you’ll feel better for the effort.
