One Good Thing

Have you ever had a really bad day, or series of bad days? The kind where you wonder if anything is ever going to go right again? EVER. It seems like days like this cluster together and suck the joy out of the day and sometimes whole weeks. Then one good thing happens. Often it is something quite small and silly that can snap the bad streak, or something loud and scary. A thunderstorm that brings a cold front that makes everything more bearable. Who is generally glad about thunderstorms? I guess I am, because it makes you realize even loud scary things can have a cool, calming effect. I have found that often in reflecting upon these "dark days/weeks" that I overlooked several good things that could have ended the "badness". So on this very hot and humid Friday, don't overlook the good things that are happening. They may be small, quiet things or big, loud things. Either way, be open to letting them be your one good thing.
