It's a good day

What if every day was good?
What if every day IS good?
What if you started looking at it in that way?

I have been fundraising for the MG Walk, which was yesterday. I had every intention on going and walking as far as I could. Then yesterday I woke up feeling very sick and weak. My family still attended, but I could not. Was it a bad day? Was it a good day? What determines that?

If I looked at only that aspect, of course I'd say, it was a bad day. But that would actually be fairly narrow minded of me. I have to look at the whole picture. All in all, it was a good day. Every day is a good day, even when it's a bad health day.

I'm not only alive, but I'm living. Maybe it's not how I imagined and definitely not how my friends and family would desire, but I'm living as best as I can given my situations. Look at the beauty around us. Nature. People. Animals. Love. We don't have to have any big plans to experience any of that. And thanks to technology, I can lay in bed and connect with others. Most importantly I can always connect with God. It's a good day.

Furthermore, here is something great. I can't remember the last time I used the wheel chair. I think, perhaps, it was in June at the last MG walk- the local one. (Yesterday's was national). But even then, I accomplished something huge that day. I walked a mile, an entire mile! June 2014 was the first time I was able to walk a mile in at least 2 years. My situation today is so much worse than my situation used to be. However, how I am today- mentally/emotionally/spiritually is so much better than I used to be. It's a good day.

I have Myasthenia Gravis, POTS/Dysautonomia, Lyme Disease, Bartonella, Chronic EBV, Candida, Adrenal Fatigue, an immune deficiency, a blood clot disorder, scoliosis/back problems, gi problems and more. But....

I have a home, family, friends, food, clothing, an education, entertainment and most importantly God. And with God alone, I have it all. So... every day is a good day, because every day is a gift from God. Treat each day as a gift, as a blessing, see it with a positive attitude, give your life a positive outlook. We can't control some of the situations we are placed within, but we can control what we do with it. Make it a good day.
