A good day doesn’t depend
On circumstances—
Favorable or unfavorable.
The dog won’t obey.
My neighbor didn’t speak.
I can’t find my keys.
It rained all week.
But a good day depends
On one’s own attitude—
And perception of things.
It depends on one’s ability
To react to the negative
In a positive way
In taking charge
To order the day.
