Bad Day or Prelude to a Happy Day?

Sometimes I tend to think that a bad day signals the end of the world.  But it doesn’t.  A bad day can be just that–a bad day.  Not the end of the world.  And not a bad life.  Sorrows or anger or anxiety swarm around and snuff out happiness like a little candle.  But I mustn’t forget that a snuffed-out candle today could become a blazing fire tomorrow.  Like a beautiful classical piece of music, today’s bad day could really just be a prelude (written in a minor key) to tomorrow’s grand finale (written in a major one).

Yes, for the most part, we can choose to be happy, but some days are just bad.  We need to accept them for what they are, do our very best, and then wake up tomorrow and try again.   Because tomorrow may be the greatest day ever.  Hope for this.  And let your thinking change for the better, even if today doesn’t.

Happy Challenge:
 
Instead of trying to change your day around, just change your perspective.  Remind yourself again and again that today is just a prelude to tomorrow’s miraculous day.  Then watch and see if happiness doesn’t unfold, because it will.  And maybe even your bad day prelude will change a little too from the coloring of your hope…
