Last week, I went to an impromptu birthday party held for the mother of a long-time friend. The get-together was extremely informal; she'd sent out an email to her family and friends letting them know she'd be meeting a small group of people the day prior, inviting them all to join in the celebration.

I was running errands yesterday and came to an intersection with a stop sign just as a pedestrian arrived at the crosswalk perpendicular to my direction. I stopped, he stopped, he looked at me and I at him. I waved him ahead, allowing him to cross before I accelerated through the intersection. I noticed a slight smile on his face as he crossed the street, at first not looking at me. When he got to the point directly in front of my car, he looked directly at me, wore a huge smile and gave a little wave. I smiled and waved back. He went on his way, I went on mine.

I find myself spending a lot of my free time just thinking – about things I want or want to happen, about how a situation could have gone better, evaluating myself and others. A good deal of this over thinking drifts into negativity, which in turn alters my mood for the entire day. I challenged myself to squash any negative thought as soon as it came into my mind, and so far I’ve been successful – and my attitude through out the day has reflected it!

Sometimes it’s nice to go back to the simple joys of childhood. Remember when pizza was the best food in the world? When you could spend the whole day inside a blanket fort? Channel your inner child one day – do everything you used to love doing as a child.

My favorite football team, the Green Bay Packers, were knocked out of the playoffs yesterday afternoon. It was a tough game to watch; one of those where you know the team is not playing anywhere near their potential. Getting so used to seeing them at their best at times throughout the season made it even more difficult to see them at what seemed like their worst.

One of the greatest joys in life is cheering on a favorite sports team. I recently got the opportunity to see one of my favorite teams play, and I couldn’t have been more excited. Eventhough they lost, just being there, being a part of the wonderful energy of the excited crowd, was incredible. It’s not the result that matters so much as the spirit.

This might seem controversial, but it's not. My heart was warmed earlier today when I read a news article about how the US Navy had rescued about a dozen Iranian fishermen who'd been taken hostage by Somali pirates.

It’s easy to let the little thingsin life get you down. On a bad day, everything can seem to pile up until it feels like it’s too much to handle. But just remember that years from now, you’ll never remember the little things—they’ll have no impact on your life in the long run.

I read an article recently about a dog who saved its family from their burning house. He lead the parents and youngest child out, and went back for the older child, leading her through the collapsing house and into safety before the firemen could even arrive. Think of how loving and innately good that family must be to inspire such bravery and devotion from an animal.
