A Day in the Life of…

Saw this deal over at the LivingRoom called Blogger Idol. I was like, “What the heck is this?” Anyway, it’s a multi-blog, organized-weekly, topic birthing deelio… or something. We’re up to Blogger Idol: Week 3 so feel free to participate. These week’s starter is, ‘A day in the life of…’

A Day in the Life of Someone Empowered

It’s true, it’s really true. I’m sure you’ve heard someone say it. Does this sound familiar? “Life is what you make it.” Sure you have. But like so many things, it goes in one ear and out to the street.

Making the best of a bad situation is something that comes easy to some people, not me per say. But we all know “the guy” who upon arriving at our camping ground in frigid temperatures, amidst the rainy drizzle who announces, “Let’s get those tents set up!”

At that point in time, you’ve got a choice. Are we gonna pack it in and head home for microwave dinners, or are we gonna make the most of it and possibly enjoy ourselves despite our circumstances?

Desirable Yes, Feasible No?

Is it possible to have fun all the time? Hell no. Or reverse it, do some people somehow enjoy being miserable? Some do.

Despite our default personality settings, we can learn to be this kind of person even if we’re preset to depression first, joy only if necessary.

Finding the Positive

Sure, while every other blog in the world is talking about Janet’s nipple or the Democratic Primaries, I’ve chosen to focus on more healthy news-bites.

The surprising part is that they’re not to hard to find. Just this morning I learned about Fish OK After Extinguishing Fire. Misleading title and all, it’s still funny and it’s good news. (Not good enough to warrant a post, but you see what I’m saying.)

Look around and you can discover that Fran Lasee set a record by bowling a 834 The trick is he’s 83. The article didn’t mention ole Fran lives at the ally, eats only hot dogs and has no social life, but that’s another story.

emPower to the People

We all have the potential to see the good in others. Forgiveness is an option. Truth is worthwhile. Faith and hope are great, but remember, greatest of these is love.
