Yesterday i had the chance to stay where i could look out the window to see a beautiful lake, with the sun shining on the water. Some of my favorite songs celebrate the sunshine: Oh my, blue sky, help my sunny day . . . . Good day, Sunshine . . . . I’m gonna soak up the sun, gonna tell everyone to lighten up . . . .

A favorite theme and rightly so. Now combine the great sunny day with some water to reflect, to sparkle - hey, it doesn’t get much better than that. Here’s the good part - it doesn’t have to cost you anything.

Is it great to own or rent a place where you can have the sun/water all day long? Yeah sure that is awesome. But you and me, we’re mobile, we can (optionally), and often have to go someplace, each day. My yesterday and today are not my choice, i have to be here. You know the whole earning thing.

But it just so happens there is this beautiful lake right here. Mix in a little sun and presto! All we have to do is open the eyes and take it in. So you should. Even if you are working, not chillin, take the time to enjoy. Your employer does not own your thoughts, your emotional experience. You are in control of your attitude. Personally my situation is far from perfect jobwise. My choice would be to not be here. But while i am, i can still enjoy.

Maybe there is no water where you are. Are there nice trees? Mountains? Even a desert? Or maybe skyscrapers? Hey are you in control of your attitude or is someone else? Don’t give that over! Keep your attitude. Control your thoughts. Don’t give up. Don’t let them win.

While you are where you are, consciously enjoy what is there. What about those stuck indoors.  That’s where you use pictures or even better your memory.  Let your mind feast on what ever it can. Use your eyes or ears to feed the soul if possible. If necessary go within.

Take back from those who would own you, what is rightfully yours. Have a great day even though . .

Stay on top. I like to say “maintain air superiority”. Own your own mind. As they say, it’s a terrible thing to waste.
