Day 5 -- Three more good things

Today is day 5 and it has been a good day.  (tribute to  Ice Cube).  It was Friday and I ended the day by playing golf with a good friend and two attorneys from the firm.  All good. I must say that I am beginning to believe in this good thing stuff.  It is helping me keep perspective.  It is reminding me how important the good  things are.

I received a message from a friend yesterday.  She told me that she had been arguing with her son and he said he had a horrible day.  She told him to come up with a good thing that happened that day.  Initially, he said nothing, but after some prodding, he came up with something (there is always something).  The argument ended and he felt better.

I think that if we search for the good things, it can make the ineveitable bad things less important.  There is a lot of good everyday and it can be hard to see them or appreciate them, but this exercise is making them more visible. Now, on to three good things.

1.   I enjoyed a beautiful day playing golf instead of sitting my office wishing I was playing golf. I was able to play with a very good friend and two attorneys from my firm.  Two attorneys that I did not know very well before, but that I had a great time getting to know.  I also won $150.00 in gift cards from Golf Galaxy (closest to the pin).  This was a good thing.

2.  The weather was outstanding today.  It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze.  Sometimes, we should appreciate the weather -- This was a good thing

3.  My son slept until 7 AM.  This was a good thing -- no explanation needed.

I hope that everybody had a good day.  I did.  Have a great nigth and have a great weekend.  I will be posting over the weekend.

Be Easy
