No special reason – I slept well, I feel great… I generally have no complaints! But I noticed when I took the dog out for her early morning run that I was impatient with her repeated stopping and sniffing of the ground. I can’t blame her; the October wind blew in all kinds of leaves and delectable scents that needed investigating! I just got a little irritated with having to constantly wait for her.
I don’t want to be that way. So how do I imitate the overturned trash cans at the top of the driveway and dump Oscar the Grouch out on the ground?
My friend Mary sent me a “good morning” meme that had the answer. It came with a “Happy Friday” greeting, and underneath I found a few short phrases that spelled out the solution:
1) Good coffee. Yes, I am totally on board with this! I’ll take pumpkin spice if you have it, but coffee of any kind today is more than just a joy… it’s a must!
2) Fall vibes. It’s such a beautiful time of the year, and it’s gone in the blink of an eye. So I’ll open my eyes today and drink in all the October beauty along with that coffee mentioned above.
3) Grateful heart. Yes, yes, yes! Counting my blessings and actually taking the time to thank God for them moves my mind, heart, and soul in a positive direction.
4) It’s Friday! Even if you’re happily retired, as am I, it’s important to keep that “Friday feeling” alive to thrive!
(Oscar doesn’t know what he’s missing!)
“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
(Psalm 118:24 NKJV)
