We'll try again today!

Having a bad day is no fun. Some people milk five minutes of bad into a whole day of misery. They let one thing ruin or make the rest of their day bad.

But each day is a new day and a new start. So if yesterday wasn't so great, which mine was not, remember that today is a new opportunity. No one will ever get today back again. There are no do-overs! You can look at the day as partly cloudy or partly sunny. Or the glass is half full or half empty. Your choice. But you do affect the people around you so remember that. And the people around you affect you as well. 

I find myself avoiding the negative people and trying to bring their way of thinking or conversation around to something less negative or more positive or generic. I'm a "how about the weather or those Cyclones, Panthers or Hawkeyes" kind of conversationalist! Anything to get things moving onto a more positive note. Anything! 

I blogged about lent a couple of weeks ago. How's that going? Mine is not stellar performance. But I'm not giving up. Remember the 21 days to create a new habit or break an old one? Ya well, I've not made that 21-day thing out of the 40 days of lent. I'm not laying blame, nor am I making excuses but tonsillitis for over five weeks does not help my motivation! I wasn't trying for greatness just small changes, improvements in life in general, just mine. But I'm not giving up either!

So with today being another gift and we all get one shot at today I'm going to try to keep the right attitude and give it the best shot. 

Remember whatever today brings, it's a new day, a new opportunity and a new chance. Life is too short to give up and not try again! We all learn to walk in our own way, in our own time!
