Ain’t It Fine Today
Sure, this world is full of trouble-- I ain't said it ain't.
Lord! I've had enough, an' double, Reason for complaint.
Rain an' storm have come to fret me, Skies were often gray;
Thorns an' brambles have beset me
On the road--but, say, Ain't it fine to-day?
What's the use of always weepin', Makin' trouble last?
What's the use of always keepin' Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation, Water with his wine.
Life it ain't no celebration. Trouble?
I've had mine-- But to-day is fine.
It's today that I am livin', Not a month ago,
Havin', losin', takin', givin', As time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way; It may rain again to-morrow,
It may rain--but, say, Ain't it fine to-day!
Douglas Malloch
I do hope you are able to wake up with a SMILE today. Yesterday might have been a bad one, but today is a fresh start. We can leave yesterday behind and begin again each new day.
You know all my days are never full of SUNSHINE and SMILES for sure, but this journal is all about GOOD MORNINGS!
I left all that stuff that I didn’t like about yesterday behind and I’m hoping for nothing but the best today. When I think about all the wonderful things in the universe, how can I be anything but happy.
Yesterday on my way to work I was heading west. I had this huge red ball in the sky in my rear view mirror and just ahead of me to the south west a little was the waning full moon. I just thought it was terrific to be seeing both at the same time.
I’m just a small little dot on the map for sure, but I’ve been so blessed that maybe I can share a little of my enthusiasm for life with you today. I've got my ***BIG SMILE*** on and am off to work…we’ll see how many smiles I’ll find today….
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Start each day with happy attitudes. Smile, laugh!
Fun and healthy thoughts aren't merely for children, you know -- or for the rich -- or the happy go lucky. You need fun and laughter almost as much as you need food!
Perhaps each day seems alike .. gray and grim. You are irritated by little things, you drag yourself to do one task to another. You aren't really sick but you're far from feeling well ..
It is not hard work that drains off your energy but emotional upheaval, those unguarded thoughts that robs you from happy attitude and pleasant, peaceful mind.
Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little but give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self and think of others.
Do as you would be done by.

Your entry is the last one I'm reading before getting ready for work this morning and I have to tell you how much better I feel after reading it. You really make me feel good with what you write.
Have a good day.

Well, I couldn't get into the journals for some reason this morning so I wasn't able to read this until tonight. But that's okay because it's a great way to end the day too! I love your inspirational entries. And this picture is adorable! Linda
Little blessings of nature mean a lot. Like a rainbow, a sunset, a sunrise, a pretty cloud formation, birds, butterflies, a pretty garden. :-)
