Days are not always our choosing
It has been an interesting day. It rained all night. I woke up this morning wishing I could stay in bed. It was cold. I have a cold. My bed was nice and warm. Yet, I had to get up and keep moving forward. Sometimes that is what we do. I knew that I had to be to work at a certain time. I knew that I need to provide breakfast for my children. So I did what I needed to do.
When I finally got to work, the person I was supposed to work for had not loaded everything properly. She was working for someone else and wanted me to work instead. I had to scramble to find someone else to work for. Then when I did find someone, the first person started whining because I had told her I would work for her. It just made my day messy.
It was also a little busy. I found a quiet corner and started working. I was not feeling up to interacting with others. I was not there more than an hour when the projects started falling in. I really wanted to just tell them to find someone else. I was tired, I did not feel good, and I just wanted to do something that did not require much thinking. You guessed it, I took on the projects.
Sometimes we don't get a choice about what kind of situations we are in, we only get to choose how we will deal with those situations. Though it is not always the choices that we like, we must. The easiest way to do it is by choosing to make the best of what we have before us and moving forward. It is not always fun, it is not always bright and cheery, it is just the way it is.
Choose to be positive. Find the positive in all that you are dealt. Choose to lift others up, not put them down. Choose to be a better person. Choose.
