~:[CH14 - Day 233]:~ The Blazing Sun

It was hot today. It wasn't the hottest it's ever been, but also hot enough to make it uncomfortable. Practice was called off again, but we still had a little gathering at the Towne Center to enjoy each other's company. While I wish it was just a bit cooler, I guess you can't complain when you have a beautiful sky overhead. Instead of stormy weather, you get a beautiful blue sky and also, there wasn't any humidity like when I was in Japan. You can't always get what's perfect, but even in tough situations, you can see the pluses versus the minuses. What are you going to see? Are you going to see the blazing sun or a clear blue sky? Perspective in life changes everything and how you see things is often up to you. "Is the glass half empty or half full" is the most common of these views and you have to decide how you see it. I'll aim at trying to take the half full perspective this year, as while it may not be easy to maintain throughout the year, I'll try to keep myself on track. As I start the year off with an essay for my students, I know it will be a struggle to get them to focus in just off of summer, but I'll look for their efforts and progress and I'll appreciate their questions. I was exhausted by day's end, but that also meant that I worked hard and had something to fulfill my day. I hope that we can all see our days from a positive perspective, as while life isn't always easy, we can make the burden a little lighter when we keep things as positive as we can. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful blue sky overhead.
