The Silver Lining

Ever have one of those days where you wished you stayed in bed that morning?  I had one of those recently.  


I woke up late so I skipped my meditation and morning exercise and things went downhill from there.  I forgot my lunch, couldn’t figure out the numbers for my accounting…..Nothing seemed to turn out as I had planned or imagined it would.  By the evening, I was tired, frustrated, grumpy and worn out.  


I then thought to myself, what can I do right now to feel better?  My brain said, eat junk food.  So I ate junk food….bad choice, I felt worse after.  


Next, I decided to change my question.  What can I be grateful for right now?  The answer that came to me was “the sunset” which represented the ability to start over again tomorrow.  So I drove out to a secret or not so secret place behind the airport to watch the planes fly into Ottawa and to watch the sunset.  


It was one of those beautiful sunsets on a warm summer night that lights up the entire sky.  Just when I thought the sun had gone down, I looked up and saw the silver lining.  Literally.  That magical moment where a silver line appears in the sky just as the sun goes down.  I smiled to myself and was filled with gratitude.  


I then remembered a quote from Og Mandino “I will live this day as if it is my last.  And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.”


No matter how bad a day, there’s always a silver lining.  Next time you have a ‘bad’ day.  The question to ask is, what am I grateful for today?


If anyone is interested in source of the Og Mandino Quote.  It comes from the Scroll Marked 5: Live each day as if it were your last
