It's just another perfect day!

I have a large vinyl sign that is located over my kitchen table that reads "Its Just Another Perfect Day!" It is about 4 feet long. I was inspired by a commercial for a car company that used these words once at a movie with my children. I could not get those words out of my head for days and days. I kept asking myself if such a concept could really be true? Could every single day really be "perfect?" I have a friend who does vinyl lettering as a business and I asked her to make me this fun sign and I put it up on our wall. Just shortly after this sign was up my father passed away. I recall coming back from the hospital after he had died and looking at that sign. I felt very sad, but there was peace inside me that yes it was still a perfect day. My father was a very happy person, and I know he would have wanted me to feel like his day of passing was perfect.

I have found that one of the best ways to health is by deciding to be happy. Health and happiness are choices. I have a dear friend who is currently going through an horrible and sad divorce. I am amazed at this lady's fine example of taking what most would consider a tragedy and making her life beautiful each day. She has decided that life may be hard, but it is going to be very good in spite of her situation. Very inspiring.

Life throws us curve balls, there is no getting around that, but in spite of those hard times, life can be perfect each day. It becomes perfect because we decide it will be perfect. Perfection is not about the perfect budget, or the perfect home, or even perfect health. It is about having a perfect attitude. Not that we are or ever will be perfect, but if we try perfectly, then each day can guide us to happiness, and we can be at peace with what we have and where we are.

I challenge you today to look at your day as just another perfect day and then whatever today gives you I hope for your that you may take it and make it a perfect curriculum for your circumstances to use and make you a better you. I am here rooting for you as I work through my own day too.
