We Make the Day

Last week was ruff getting out of the bed...all together. Lately, I have been getting up before my awesome husband calls at 6:45 (he sometimes has to call so that I am not late for work). This morning was different. A few minutes after waking up and getting in the shower, I knew it would be a different day...in a good way. First, it is the halfway point in the week (Wednesday). Second, the phone that I dropped in the toilet was working. Third, it just felt good to be alive for another day (the last thought came after that delish first sip of goodness coffee).

Everyone that knows me well will attest to the fact that I am not a morning person. It should be a rule law that no one is allowed to speak to Bethany Jo Stremming Litz until 1. She has had her coffee or 2. For about 3 hours after she pulls herself out of bed (or whichever comes last).
Came to work and went directly to the cafe to start on my iced coffee for the day (You know...that deliciousness). As I walked in, there was a fellow co-worker making his coffee. I am not a morning person, but I was going to be nice and asked him how he was. His reply: "I am happy!" I was not expecting that response because I knew a little of what he had been going through lately. That statement right there basically made my day.

I started to think about that statement and how we can make our days remarkable if we just try. Strive to think about the good things we have to live for or all the things we have, in general. Starting out in the morning (I suggest after that delish coffee), your attitude will make or break your day and, possibly, your week. Waking up in the morning, we have two important decisions starting off:

1. Will I get out of bed at all?
2. What type of day can I make this?

We make our days!
