A Year of Blogging: March 16, 2011

March 15 was Everything You Think is Wrong day. So it's only fitting that March 16 was 'Everything You Do is Right Day'. That's how things go. One day is bad, the next seems better. Yes, there are times that you'll have a couple of bad days in a row. Or that the next day will still be bad, but won't suck as much as the first one. Life is like an ocean wave. There are ups and downs. The key to life is learning to roll with that wave. We all need balance in our lives. Too much bad isn't good, but there is also too much of a good thing. Need proof of that? Think of the moments after you've finished eating Thanksgiving dinner, when your body is so stuffed you think you will explode! Whenever someone hits a ripe old age, of say, 100 or so, someone asks the person for their secret to a long life. The Centenarian being interviewed might say something like they didn't smoke or drink. I've read of women saying they didn't get married. And then there are the spunky ones who admit to drinking a few shots of Jack Daniels and smoking a pack a day. Especially funny if it's a woman saying this! But really, I think the secret is learning to cope. You have to be like the tree, bending in the wind. Yes, there will be bad times, but there will also be good times. Being able to flex and go with it will keep you going. You just have to remember even if today is the worst day, things will get better. Hopefully, it will be tomorrow. But it might be next week, next month, or next year. But they will. You will get through this too. I am very glad the people who created all these silly days put Everything You Think is Wrong Day and Everything You Do is Right Day next to each other on the calendar. It reminds us to keep things in perspective!
