Bad Day

We all have bad days. Maybe we hardly got any sleep last night and we can't handle it. Maybe hot coffe spills on your legs or you slam your finger in the car door. Maybe it feels like people-co-workers, co-students, family or friends-are out to get you. Maybe the issues your have inside are difficult for you to deal with and you're not sure how to react outwardly.

No matter what it is the bad days still have good moments.

I realized this the other day when my day wasn't going particularly well.

As my day rolled along I was stopped when my daughter laughed. And laughed and laughed and laughed. And somewhere in there she grabbed her feet and kicked her legs excitedly.

In this one moment, so brief and short, I forgot all about my bad day due to the joy and contagious goodness from my little girl.

I have to say, found that I felt my best within this tiny instance of my rough day.

Every day-even a rough one-has bright moments. They might show up unexpectedly or you might have to look for them. Sometimes it's from sunlight piercing through the clouds, or a stranger's kindness or a baby's uncontrollable laughter, but the bad days will never outshine the good moments in the end.

Don't let them get the best of you because the best of you comes from finding the good within the bad.
