Today I woke up at 4:15 in the morning. I was tired. Very tired. Last night I stayed up roasting a coffee order for my coffee roasting business that needed to get done. Did I mention I own a coffee roasting company? No? More on that in another post. As I got ready to leave my house, I looked out of my second-story window and noticed the pre-sunrise glow caressing the horizon. I took a moment to admire the beauty that I saw and couldn’t help but smile. Despite how exhausted I was, I was grateful to be up at that time to see it.
The reason I was up at that hour was because I was taking my friend to the airport. She was leaving to visit her brother in Florida and asked if I could give her a ride. The ride itself, while taking longer than I expected due to traffic, wasn’t bad. I listened to an audiobook and was home by 10 am. I showered, meditated, and took a quick nap. When I woke up from my slumber, I randomly thought that today was a good day.
I always try to be aware and take stock of when I randomly think that the day will be good. Not because it’s any sort of rare occurrence, but more so to revel in the thought before moving on with my day. After all, I’ve come to believe that it’s the little steps and moments that lead to big gains. So if you’re reading this, take a moment to take a step back and try to find even the smallest kernel of good in your day to be thankful for.
My wish for you is to be happy.
