It's A Bright Sunshiny Happy Day!

Just finished a decent workout & quick shower and now sit at my desk...  yes, there are work things to be done--but I felt inspired to write a few things....

I've been letting people steal my sunshine...  and create dark grey clouds over me... this in turn impacts my mood and outlook on life--on work, on people...   and I spread it to others.   Is this the me I want to be?   No... I want to spread sunshine--corny as that may sound.    I'm sick of working and living in an environment that creates grey clouds...  so, as I have told myself many times... today is a new day.  A bright sunshiny day--a day for me to be positive... to rekindle the love I have had for people, for places, for life.

Sunshine so far today? 

• Opening my eyes...with a happy happy dog jumping up beside me to snuggle...  that's unconditional love... why can't we show that love to our fellow human beings?
• The drive to work - in solitude... listening to music and singing along.  
• My workout-- not the hardest I've done... could do better.  But, it is done... I have the ability to spend 30 minutes on an eliptical machine... and spend another 30 lifting weights.   And feel better for it.
• A quick chat with an old friend--sharing laughs, hearing about his life... reminiscing on times we've had.
• An encounter with a member in the locker room--a quick chit-chat, but an interaction with my fellow human self, of how similar we are.
• A chat with a coworker--sharing frustrations... not a great sunshine moment... and I'm sad of his outlook on some work things... but this man is a gem, a true lover of human nature and life...  I wonder how I can help him?
• Good coffee.

The list could go on.. and it's only 9:01 AM.    That's a lot of sunshine and happiness.
