Interesting Perceptions

Have you ever had one of those days where whatever could go wrong actually did go wrong? The kind when you get up in the morning and it starts with tripping over something the minute you get out of bed, followed by bumping into something before you make it to the bathroom, only to then have several things fall off the counter and onto your toe? I've definately have had those mornings. And lately I've started to view those events differentlly, sort of as a little experiment to see if I can change the course of my day. In the past I used to get upset and carry those feelings with me throughout the entire day. I just knew that day would get worse. And actually it did! For me, all of that has changed. I now view those same events as very interesting little things that I then get to choose my reaction to. Typically I can be heard saying things like, "Hmm, this is going to be an interesting day. " Followed by a smile. And of course when I have the privilege of tripping later in the day while walking to my office, I tend to smile, look over my shoulder, and share the laugh with the guy who saw me trip. It definately does make for a more amusing day and an opportunity for me to make others smile! Keep smiling.
