New Day Dawning
I woke up thinking about the unfinished application. I shook
off the dread as I slid out of bed.
“New day,” I said to the dog. “Gotta be grateful for a new
day.”
Most of my days were full of promise: another sunrise, a fresh
cup of coffee, ‘I love you’ from Dr. Deb, a chance to do some good in the
world. With luck, I’d get to spend time with Blondie, TyGuy, Brat Boy, and
CharChar.
I’d learned in challenging times a new day was an
opportunity to chip away at something hanging over me. Another day wading
through the swamp brought me that much closer to dry land. Surviving a tough day
proved I was up to whatever life threw at me.
“New damn day!” I said again to the dog. She wagged her
approval.
Today I’ll be grateful for a new day.
