HIGH AND LOW TIMES

 

    When we really think about it, there are moments in life when we feel sad or good.
These moments are not necessarily because of tragedy or excitement. Everyday activities can be boring or even pleasant. Sometimes, things seem so routine. But then something happens. It might be that you have struggled to open the cover of a jar and with just a little more effort it loosens. Wasn't that more than relief? Or, was it just a moment of feeling good? A moment that was a success or a sense of accomplishment? How about when you are trying to balance your checkbook and you can't find the error? After about ten minutes, you discover the correct answer. How does that feel? Isn't it just a little bit more than relief? Could it be a gentle sigh and a moment of comfort? What about when you are playing golf, no pars are being made and the ball falls into a trap? Don't you feel a little sad, almost ready to quit for the day? But then, you make a great shot? Now, that pleasant moment encourages you to continue to play.

    When you allow yourself to seek the pleasant moments and capitalize on them each day, you will be able to have a positive attitude. You don't have to linger with low times. You don't need to have a lavish and expensive dinner. Savoring each mouthful at mealtime can be a very rewarding experience. Remember, each moment is precious and deserves your undivided attention and respect.

    Sometimes, we get questions that are not easily answered because it takes patience to research information we need.  Maybe, it just takes a dictionary to look up a word to spell.  Sometimes, it may mean you will have to search several sources to find out the best recipe for your cake.  But don’t worry, as long as you are motivated and patient, you will get to bake your cake and eat it.
