While making coffee this morning, I spilled a half a cup of water on the floor. “Damn it,” I quietly exclaim to walls of the empty kitchen; announcing my ineptness to complete the simple task, of completing the pour into the coffee pot reservoir.
I immediately head for the paper towels to confront the mess. I kneel down, and begin the mop up job. I resign and commit myself to the minor task, when I take note of how easy it is with the wet towels, to attract the excess dirt and the food remnants, that have made a home against the running board. With a few extra wipes I realize the resourcefulness of my mistake.
“Ah, that’s nice.” I thought. I turned a little mess into a slightly cleaner kitchen. A slight smirk makes its way across my face, and I feel good about my modest efforts. I enjoy a sip of coffee as I make my way into the next room.
When I’m able to change my perception that quickly, and see what appears to be a negative as a positive, I know it's going to be a good day. Anything perceived as “bad,” can quickly fade. It’s like turning on the light in a dark room. The darkness disappears. Now, where's that switch?
Enjoy your day!
