what constitutes a good day?



This morning I prayed for "a good day."

Then I realized what I just said., "a good day."

What constitutes a good day?

What would make it so good anyway?

Would it be merely skimming by

without harm coming your way?

Or everything going according to plan

or "my way"?

Would it mean winning the lottery?

Would it mean beating any other great odds?

Would it mean being perfectly healthy?

Would it mean finding the perfect job?

Would it mean finding that great love?

Would it mean freedom from oppression?

Would it mean finding courage "from above?"

Would it mean freedom from depression?

What does it mean to finally have "a good day?"

"That is why I prayed for it," I say

"because my 'good day' and your 'good day'

are different in many ways

and GOD only knows what would make me say

'it has been a good day'."

I hope you enjoyed that. I couldn't get it out of my mind. So, I thought maybe if I share it with someone it will leave me. So, there it is. And I feel better. No, I am not normally poetic. There is not one ounce of any talent in me whatesoever. Of any kind. So never expect it again.
