I’m trying something new, so it may or may not work. This is purely for entertainment purposes. I’m listing all the pros and cons of this day, July 2, 2018:

Pro: I woke up today.

Con: Today was Monday.

Pro: I was able to get my walking in on my lunch break and after work, so I got my 10,000+ steps in.

Con: It was Sweat-palooza with all the heat and extreme humidity.

Pro: I treated myself to a triple mocha frappucino from Starbucks that was delightful and delicious.

Con: It was over way too soon and I was sad.

Pro: With a holiday falling in the middle of the week, I essentially get two Fridays.

Con: I still have to wake up at 5 am tomorrow and manage to survive until that first cup of coffee.

All in all, there were way more pros than cons. As I’ve learned and continue to be reminded, attitude and perspective go a long way toward changing your outlook.

I still believe that giving thanks instead of counting your cons is the best way to live. Gratitude makes the miracles happen.
