There are days when the sunrise is  awe-inspiring. All seems right with the world as you stand in enjoyment of a masterpiece seemingly painted just for you.

Well, and then there are days, where the sky is gray and lackluster and you can’t hear yourself think over the sound of the waves crashing over and over and over again.

Remind yourself, consciously, deliberately remind yourself of this truth: There are gifts, there are things to be grateful for in this day. Awe-inspiring or lackluster give thanks for today.

It’s only a “bad day” when we focus on our feelings rather than that truth.

Just has it has for thousands of years before, the sun is going to set in the west tonight, and rise again in the east tomorrow.

Give thanks for today – and have hope for tomorrow.
