Write it in your heart that every day is the best day of the year.
The instruction above is for me (and yours, too, if you want). I actually saved this one-liner in my drafts last year yet, no succeeding sentences right after that. I have not had the time to tinker around dailyhappythoughts’ dashboard since November 29, 2008 until yesterday morning, right after I watched Obama’s inaugural speech in CNN. The first two weeks of this year felt like it is already the last two weeks of every quarter in a year. This is not unlike any last two weeks of every quarter in terms of reports generation. The similarity ends there though, at least for the tasks that need to be done . Understandable. The level of responsibility and degree of complexity in decision making, analysis of data, and status updating of the actions items to mention a few are much more than the quarter-end experience — simply because this is for all the four quarters combined a.k.a “entire year”. Hence, my little “me” time started tonight with watching Tayong Dalawa (uhuh! you read that right. I watch TV soap operas but is an avid fan only during the introduction phase, with the exception of Pangako sa yo), then eating guava, and finally writing this.
Now that the vibrancy of my 13-day vacation is starting to stagger away from me, I’ve decided to fortify the implementation of that which is written above in italics. I’ve learned early in life that it is a jungle out there. “Dress appropriately” as what one of Velvet TV shows’ teaser say. I would say I’d like to dress myself with positive attitude and habits. I will dress myself with all the positive talk that will produce the most productive of good for me. More often that not, people will always strip you of what is good. What’s more surprising is that they are sometimes the person(s) close to you or the ones you least expect it to be. Hence, the need to regularly deposit to our happy memories bank account, just like our savings account, so that when tough times arrive, there’s always some happy memories to pluck from the back of our minds, look back and color our stormy day. Most importantly, the good thing of living in this world is the presence of our Almighty Father and the comfort of knowing that He has already planned what’s in store for us. So there’s nothing more to do but move one step at a time forward.
What better way to start the year right than writing in our hearts that every day is the best day of the year. Oh! And keep your fork!
