UGLY DAY

So I had an ugly day today. An "ugly day" basically means that no matter what I try or how much makeup I slather on or how many different hairstyles or outfits I go through, I just don't look right. Can anyone relate? Now, there is a very brief moment when the choices present themselves: One could either let the day tailspin out of control, or take a deep breath and turn things around. This sound simple enough, doesn't it? I mean, it's bad enough the hair is frizzy and the face seems abnormally puffy?! Sadly, no. So we battle the frizz with heating tools and hair products becoming more and more frustrated and more and more late. Not to mention missing breakfast, and the final run-through for the very important presentation at 10 AM! So there we are, starving and flustered without a clear thought in our mind when we realize we forgot the disk with all the charts for the presentation...AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Sound familiar?? Yep, me too! But I wonder...What if, on these days, when we are faced with the decision to turn things around, we pull our hair up and choose to focus on what else makes us great? That instead of saying this is an UGLY DAY, we say this is a top chef day, or a smart day, a be healthy day, or best student day, a great sense of humor day, or world most amazing friend, partner, daughter, sister, co-worker...day? Might our life change??
