The makings of a bad day & it's Remedy

What really makes a day bad?  When I really stop to think about this I get confused.  Confused in the sense that any day spent alive should be appreciated for just that, but often times certain days bring  elements to the table that are just plain WRONG.  As much as I try to remind myself that these things will pass, I still find it hard not to concentrate on them from time to time .  This has got to stop!

In order to eliminate this occurrence I've decided that you've got to have passion in your life to make the most of it!  Whether its family, work, friends, hobbies, talents, or whatever you want to add to the list, without passion you lack desire to actually make the most of the day you've already been given.  WHAT A WASTE, and I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty.

This was pointed out to me by my friend Arra Glare (stage name), well not directly, but I knew what he was getting at.  Arra saved the day yesterday.  It twas a "bad day" until he stepped-up to get me out of a BIG hole.  **Thanks Facebook,  for letting Arra know of the situation so quickly!  Your social platform really brings people together!! **  I'm passionate about our friendship, and in hindsight yesterday was a prime example of what I'm talking about.  Even if he hadn't been there for me, at the end of the day I'm still fortunate enough to have family, true friends, work (in progress), talents, and pretty decent health.  These are the things that matter....these are the things to focus on in times of mayhem....these are the things to throw your passion into!! One of my favorite quotes goes like this--  "The best form of exercise is reaching down to pick someone else up". True dat, right?

So the moral of this rant is:  A "bad day" can only be as bad as you let it, and your "bad day" is nothing compared to some of the other ones out there.  So I'm challenging myself to this- - when I see one coming, I'm gunna find something to throw some passion at.  KER-SPLAT...You've been hit by a big batch of "bad day" remedy!
