Every day is a good day

Is every day really a good day?  I don't think so.  Sometimes we all experience days where really bad things happen (usually in 3's for the superstitious type).  Think about it, imagine getting a speeding fine when you're really broke at the end of the month; or you're walking down the street to an important meeting or interview and your heel breaks; or it's your wedding day on the beach and it begins to howl with wind and pour down with rain.  Would you be having a good day then?

Bad things happen all the time, it is inevitable and, for the most, uncontrollable.  Albeit, I do agree with John S. Hinds who stated that "a day will never be anymore than what you make of it."  You can choose to see the glass half full or the glass half empty.  Your mood and attitude, and how you choose to interpret the events that unfold, will determine how good or bad your day is.

However optimistic you may try to be though, there will always be those days where you can't help but be a "glass-half-empty-kind-of-person."  And there's nothing wrong with that.  We all need to have a bad day every once in a while in order to fully appreciate what a good day really is.  If you think you're having a bad day, just remember that there is someone else out there who is having an even worse day than you are.
