“Best Day Ever!”
By Mike Turner
It’s was a busy day around the Turner household yesterday. Ivy just had her Kindergarten Graduation, (apparently they have graduations for Kindergarteners), I must say they were damn cute wearing their little graduation caps.
One of the coolest things about having kids is that their enthusiasm is contagious. I just can’t help to get super excited about the day myself when I see them bouncing up and down in joyful bliss. So maybe the secret ingredient to having the “Best Day Ever” is just let yourself believe it will be the best day ever and recognizing it when it does happen.
Obviously life does not go to plan and our days don’t go the way we hope, so we learn as we get older to put up these shields to lessen the blow of disappointment. The problem is that we might actually miss the joy of the day because we either block it out or don’t recognize the awesomeness of the day unfolding.
My kids regularly say “today was the best day ever.” When was the last time you said that? Start looking for it, and I am confident you’ll have one too.
