Review of the Day

Another day has passed, work was done, meals were eaten, conversations had and what is left? What was gained? What do we want out of a day? How do we judge if we had a "good" day or a "bad" day? I suppose in the end we judge it by those fickle things we call "emotions". Did it feel good to us? Did we have conversations that left us happy, satisfied?? How were our meals, did we enjoy them, we they well made? Our work, did it go well, did we get the emotional satisfaction we wanted from it? How about going not by what we felt about what happened to us, those external forces we have no control over... how about deciding by how loving we acted today. Did we treat others as we would like to be treated? Did we see someone do something that might annoy us easily, but instead allow for a difference without taking it personally? Did we have to do something on our job we don't like and instead of feeling "put upon" to do it, take the chore on with joy for the chance to help someone instead. Did we climb on a crowded bus with tired feet and instead of being upset there were no open seats, think how wonderful it was not to have to walk? Did we look or act or think lovingly today? When I think of a loving day I think that is the kind of a day worth having.
