			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I was putting another load of laundry on to wash, I realized something:  today has been a wonderful day.  It isn&#8217;t that I&#8217;ve done something extraordinary, but the day-t0-day activities have been, in reflection, special in their own right.</p>
<ul>
<li>I was able to sleep in a little, fix some coffee and mediate.</li>
<li>Spent some quality time just hanging out with my sweetie</li>
<li>Cooked lunch</li>
<li>Took a walk</li>
<li>Grocery Shopped</li>
<li>Watched a goofy movie with my youngest</li>
<li>Washed, folded, and put away four loads of laundry</li>
<li>Played a game of Scrabble in the afternoon</li>
<li>Had dinner with my youngest, my oldest and her boyfriend as we watched Last Cake Standing</li>
</ul>
<p>And my day is not yet at a close.  I still am looking forward to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Kids going to bed on time without squabbles</li>
<li>More quality time with my sweetheart</li>
<li>A clean kitchen when I go to bed so that the day starts fresh tomorrow</li>
</ul>
<p>Who could ask for much more than being surrounded with laughter and joy and love? Sometimes, I think we put so much emphasis on the big events in life that we lose sight on the absolute joy in the moments of each day.  We are assualted with so many negatives out there.   In fact, there are some folks that I know who seem to live so deeply in the world of the negatives that they can&#8217;t find the positives; the miss the sweetness of the moments as they rush from one activity to another or lament upon the bad things in their lives.  Life is simply too short to dwell in the negatives.   I prefer, instead, to look at the sunny side of the street.<br />
