When the Sun Sets...

Hey there.

I know it's quite late in the day, but I have been busy enjoying my life today.  The weather is nice...my shoulders and toes are out; things are just lovely! 

Everyone seems to be in a better mood when the sun is shining.  People smiles and wave randomly.  People allow others to go in front of them on the freeway.  It's awesome.  But on the other side of things, I've noticed, when it's cloudy and raining, people aren't trying to do na-nutta-nothin' for anyone else.

As much as I would like to say I have a great attitude all the time, I really don't.  As tall as I am, I am one of the shortest people by way of temper when things aren't going my way.  I can be more than honest and say I have thee worst attitude at the drop of a hat.  I am not proud of that in the least bit and realize I need to make some adjustments to change that. 

That is the purpose of my challenge; why I call my blog 'Two Points Past Platinum.'  Jill Scott sang about living a golden life and that's all well and good, but I am trying to go far beyond that.  To me, that means keeping that good feeling the sun brings even when it's not present.  I need to move beyond having a fair-weather attitude and smile and act right in rain, sleet, snow and hail!

Granted, some days will be harder than others, but I cannot let that deter me from living at my best when things seem to be at their worst. So, while smiling and thinking positively will be easier over the next week because of this dry spell we are experiencing, when the rain returns, I need to condition my mind to operate like I'm experiencing a drought.

May the sun forever shine in your life...
