Today was an absolutely beautiful day here in Columbia, SC. The sun was shining; it was not too hot or too cold...it was just perfect. But the weather man is calling for cooler temperatures and thunder storms on Thursday. Isn’t that exactly how our lives can be sometimes? One day everything is great and the next day it seems that all hell has broken loose.
It’s in those times when we must understand that life is going to happen to all of us. We can’t prevent things from happening. It’s just the way it is. We will have some sunny days and then we will have some rainy days, but it’s the meaning we give to the experience that determines our outcome. If we allow the circumstances in our lives to change our outlook on the life or our emotions to dictate our responses to life’s challenges, we will always find ourselves on the up and down roller coaster. Don’t allow external events in your life to control your internal state. Joy comes from within and from knowing that this too will pass.
So today I will enjoy the beautiful sunshine and with laughter in my heart and on Thursday I’m going to also enjoy the day with laughter, but I won’t forget my umbrella.
