Day 211:
The best thing about life Conor, is that it's just life. There's nothing perfect about it! Yet it's so....... perfect...
Every day you have a choice, Boy'O. Every single day... When you wake up in the morning you have the choice to make it a good day or a not so good day. Depending on what you decide will ultimately determine the outcome of that day... In fact, every hour of your day is impacted by that decision. And yet, we make the decision every day; no two ways about it. I've personally done it both ways and I can tell you unequivocally, the decision to make it a good day trumps all.
Redundant? I don't think so. I've been on the down side of up and I can tell you, I would have loved having someone there to remind me that, no matter what, tomorrow's a new day and you get to make that decision all over again.
No matter how positive a soul you are, every day you'll see, hear, read, and feel things that can easily take you down - if you let them. Don't. Don't let them take you down, Conor. A favorite quote for me, Son, "If you're going through hell, keep going." --Sir Winston Churchill. Indeed...
The decision to make it a good day trumps all, Son. Disgruntled bosses, bad traffic, stubbed toes, even heartache... The trick is to find the good in it, and to be sure, there's good in every single thing that at first seems bad. The good may not become immediately obvious, but then you see it. And when you do, smile. Just feel happy and move on; Another challenge awaits, I promise.
Make each day a good day, Conor. And maybe one day, you can remind me to do the same...
I love you, Son.
-Dad
