Relative Something

Do you know what the perfect day is? It’s easy. They all are! Perfect for something.

Wouldn’t you say that today would be a beautiful day to kick off the State Fair? Mostly sunny, warm but not hot, light summer breeze. Perfect for a picnic, a nap in the hammock, or a walk in the park. But if it were really windy, it would be perfect for kite surfing or sailing. If it were rainy, it would be perfect for snuggling down with a good book. Every day is perfect for something. We just have to frame it properly.

Isn’t it a bit strange that we have it within ourselves to re-frame absolutely everything to change the way it is perceived, yet we usually don’t wield that power to our (and the world’s) advantage? Often times, we simply sell ourselves short. Sometimes, we actually choose not to. Part of us still wants to dwell in the angst, for a plethora of reasons. But there is a part of us that knows. Knows the possibility exists. I think that is related to why folks get into the navel gazing of introspection. We are trying to find it. Deep down, I believe we all know what is possible. That contributes to what frustrates us about times when things aren’t going so well. Somewhere inside us, we know there are simple answers. Too often the solutions being sold involve side effects of dry mouth and constipation and an invitation to see their ad in some magazine while we are watching their ad on television.

Today is a perfect day to see if we can discover our power to find the perfection in every day. It’s in there somewhere.
