Are you expecting?
What are your expectations today?
It’s often in the first quiet sleepy-eyed moments upon awakening that you get the chance to make a decision. And it’s powerful. As sure as you’re reading this someone or something will try to snatch it from you.
Better to get your mind set on something good or else you will lose by default.
I was sitting on the porch after deciding to have a good day and truly believing that something good was going to happen to me today.
Then something fell from OUT OF THE SKY. It smacked the porch with a loud thud. Two feet from where I sat enjoying a fresh cup of coffee.
“What the hell is…get away from THAT!!” I said…to the dog who pounced on the splattered remains of the chew toy from heaven.
A passing hawk in a fight with another hawk had dropped the remains of his breakfast. Cue: Gross.
Without time for more than a “Holy shit!”, the hawk dove towards the porch…at me…and a crazed dog.
Thankfully the dog’s relentless bark (behavior we usually discourage) scared the hawk away giving me time to kick the “leg” (I decided it was a leg) off the porch.
Here’s the takeaway:
The hawk and I woke up expecting good things to happen to us today. When we encountered a glitch we adjusted and carried on. Surely the hawk found another critter. I replaced my spilled coffee. The dog scratched herself then fell asleep under the hammock.
The loser that morning was the one dropped from the sky. He probably didn’t plan on that.
BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
