Very often we speak of our day as either negative or positive. I am having a good day or I am having a bad day. I remember visiting a friend's mom when I saw a magnet on the fridge about mom's mood "Mom is in a good mood or a bad mood" I was amused. I had never seen anything like it before.
As a mother, I know that there are moment in a day that can make us frustrated, perhaps angry and tired and very often we allow those few moments define our day and our mood. Now my day is ruined.
My favorite quote from my daughter today was "mommy, you are very silly" I loved it, it meant I let go off all my work, responsibilities, demands and I was having fun. I was playing. My day is just beginning, I am sure I will have moments of hardship and frustrations and I will have moments of ease and joy.
Today, find a peaceful moment and think of the time when you felt good, think of the moment when you felt joyful. After all, a day is not just one moment, it's a combination of different experiences. Which experience is important to you?
