LEAVE IT ALONE...

Why, when everything is going so well, do some of us feel the need to pick things apart?  You got a promotion???  Wow, that's wonderful.  Oh, you didn't get the office you wanted with the corner window and the view or as much money as you had hoped for and they didn't get you your own assistant like you thought........REALLY???  You...got...a...promotion!!! Leave...it...alone.  You what?  You got a check in the mail for $100.00 from some refund a long time ago???  That's so awesome.  Oh, they didn't send it out when it should have gone out a year ago.  Yes, but you forgot all about it and it's here now and you can use the money.  Oh, you thought it should have been more but you can't remember.  Okay, but it's here now and it's $100.00 you didn't even know was coming. Oh, well true you could have used it then, but it's here now and you can use it now!!! Be...grateful...and...leave...it...alone!!!  You're getting to go on the trip of a lifetime???  I'm so happy for you.  Oh, you couldn't save up enough money for the more expensive tour to coincide with the seasons?   Right, but you can go now. Oh, you can't go the week you wanted because you didn't book your flight in time.  But you can go now and you have the time off of work and you get to go on the trip of a lifetime. Oh, you don't think you have the right wardrobe, but you have nice clothes and you get to go on the trip of a lifetime.  You what?  Oh, thought the tour was going to be longer than a week, but you get...to...go...on...the...trip...of...a...lifetime. Leave...it...alone.  

I'm gathering by now that you can see my point. When you have good and wonderful things put into your life on a daily basis, don't try to find the but, but, but in them...find the OMG factor.  The positive aspects of them just being presented to you and for you.  After all, not everyone knows how to bring good and wonderful things into their lives, so if you are able to do it, embrace it, keep it up and be grateful.
