Getting The Best In Life (Word Published)

I’ve learned that 10 percent of life is awful: the walls are caving in; I’m gutted and way down at the bottom. These are for sure down in-the-valley days.

 

10 percent of life is top of the mountain-tops days. Top of ‘everything wonderful’ days! My daughter calls them pink clouds, ice cream and orgasms, finding the mythical, pot-of-gold at the end-of-a-rainbow type, days. We love these days!

 

But a lot of life, we hope perhaps even 80 percent, is boring, every day, gotta’ get up, gotta’ go to work, uninteresting days.

 

It would do us well to learn to love these boring, uninteresting 80 percent days, cuz’ that’s what life’s made of. So, cheers ~ somehow ~ to the vastly boring ones!

 

Life is never all good or all bad, all highs, top-of-the mountaintop stuff, or alternately all down, down-in-the-valley, so-low stuff. How do we get the best in life? I think it is, enjoy thoroughly those extreme high days and endure with great prayer those extreme lows. But mostly, since most of life is the boring, regular days, celebrate the heck out of a moment there, a moment here, in those boring, regular days, and I sure hope you have a lot of them.
