Hey there everyone. How do you feel today? Make this your best day? If not, why not? We all face challenges in life, but so what? Don’t let other’s negative behavior bring you down because this is your day. Sometimes, you must flick things off your shoulders and go about your way.
What brings a smile to your face? When I get a little sad, I think about all the joy and memories with my family. We have countless treasured life time experiences together.
When’s the last time you acted goofy and silly? Who’s the biggest clown in the family? For us, it’s divided between me and my daughter Daylyn.
Once you can laugh at yourself, then you’ll enjoy life so much better.
Well, even though age has crept up on some of us, it doesn’t mean this couldn’t be your best day. Let go of all the aches, pains, and worries for the day. Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care. Hmm wonder where I got that line from?
“Girl, you’re amazing just the way you are. I could dance the night away. Because I’m happy; clap along if you know what happiness is to you.” The multiple uplifting songs are endless. What’s your happy song?
Do you realize you have the power to make this the best day for others? Over the past few weeks, I had the privilege to enjoy lunch with several old friends that I haven’t seen in years. Lois Carelock is still the beautiful person I knew growing up with her sons. It was an honor to be in the presence of an amazing lady. Our time together was precious, plus a friendship to last eternally.
It was enjoyable catching up with my old high school buddy and team mate Alan Hutchings. We both competed on the swim and water polo team at LaMarque. You probably recognize Alan’s name for he is the owner of A&A Machine Shop. Spending time with Alan was my best day that day.
And of course, taking the time this past weekend to help my mom Eileen Tepera with chores needed around the house was another special treat. It’s always a great day to see and hug mom.
What ever is going on in your life, take the time to step away from the negatives and let this be the best day, so rejoice.
