running around this morning trying to get a head start on some things decided to stop and grab a quick coffee so I'm standing in line door opens two gentleman walking stand in line right behind me start chatting back and forth and basically one of them starts talking about how he's had a rough morning dealt with some unfortunate things and was basically capping today off as a bad day I which on the surface is pretty ordinary you know we all have rough days they're real and this happened to be one of them but it also happened
that as he said this I was looking at the clock and it wasn't even 7:00 a.m. now I don't know this guy situation it's absolutely none of my business and I have no intention of delving into it but internalizing all this sort of got the gears turning in the back of my head you know thinking about how much the day is left the Sun is still coming up as this conversation is happening so I grab my coffee and I walked outside started to think about all the reasons that today is good which is sort of
an awkward activity at first right it's not something we consistently walk around talking to ourselves about but as I gave it some thought I immediately saw the benefit today is good because for starters what I'm left with at the end of the day is directly correlated to the decisions that I make throughout the day think about how powerful that is in itself right you know that feeling when you have a blank page to write or paint or there's a movie that you've been dying to see the opening credits first come out the first note is
played at a concert I'm living that I am personified opportunity just walking down Beacon Street if I go left everything that happens will be because I went left think about the power that's contained in that I mean it opens the door for unlimited opportunities today is good because it's right now I may have made some rough decisions last week last month last year but guess what they don't exist where I'm going in fact they don't exist at all maybe yesterday but not today right they've played their part they provided their wisdom now they can disappear
today is good because statistically I shouldn't be here because so many people were robbed of today because I get the opportunity to see the Sun come up and because the time will come when that will no longer be the case today is good because I have friends and family to share with this ridiculous ride chock full of ups and downs and all that stuff in between right I'm certainly not capable of sitting here and dissecting the meaning of life but I do know that whatever it happens to be it's substantially better when shared when enjoy
and today that's what I'm going to do today is good I'd like to think there's a lot in store down the road you know some of it will push me forward some of it will cause me to stop make adjustments but I'll be damned if it will take the joy out of my day not today I have something very different in store and I plan to see it through I have the ability the resources the determination I can't think of anything else I'd need so coffee in hand here I go you Oh
