How to have a bad day...wake up late
rush to get ready
rush to get ready
have coffee and a doughnut
no spiritual reflection
no exercise
focus on failures
never smile
be selfish and unfriendly
criticize, blame, condemn, complain
see your work as a necessary evil
think negative, derogatory thoughts
dictate, direct,command
don't forget to nag
don't overlook any mistakes
grumble all day long
no time for lunch
harbour resentment, internalize stress
no breaks, no relaxation, keep rushing
take your work home
curse, gripe, resent
worry about getting through tomorrow
be rigid and cranky
retire with bad thoughts

{now go make it a good one}

Good point. I have a heavy day ahead of me today, will try to do the opposite of all these things. Though the doughnut sounds like a good thing!
You covered that one pretty well. I hate to say that I know a few people that live each day this way.
I believe your thoughts have power and you choose your own reaction.
Great post!

Such good advice, my dear. I am readying for Silver Bella (I leave on Wednesday) and my tendency is to be really crabby right now. So...I am going to drop that one and work on having a good day.
I was thrlled to see you in Artful Blogger! Congratulations...you are so deserving and you give me and others so much!

Suz
happy day to you Koralee! going to make it a good day!
Happy Monday! It seems some people print out that list and try to follow it.
Not me! It's a beautiful sunshiney day here...and I'm goin' shopping!
Dearest One~
Wow wee...the funny thing is I actually know people like this. Isn't is it amazing how we create our worlds? Speaking of....Look at that White Frosted with White Sprinkles Candy Apple with a Blue Bow!!!! This would make anyone have a good day!
Happy Week to my Twinkling Star!!
XOOXXO
ugh It really takes soooooo much effort to be in a bad mood really.
Grumpy negative people must have a lot of energy wasted...
It is so much easier being happy don't you think?
Clever list, and hey, I've been there.
cheers to a GOOOOOD MONDAY!!!
i actually woke up feeling great.. and i AM LOVING this new time change.. love how bright and sunny it is when my alarm goes off!!
Happiness is a choice and I'm choosing to be happy today. Thank you for this wonderful reminder.
happy day,
Danielle
Happiness is my choice :D
and I'm still feeling that happy, happy, joy, joy, joy from our mother~daughter weekend :D
there are some people here @ work that,sad to say, your words describe perfectly...
and safe to say...they only make themselves miserable...
i attach myself to cheery, positive, smiling co-workers :D and cheery, positive, smiling BLOGGING FRIENDS !!!
HUGS ~victoria~
I hearby pledge not to do one of the items on your list today...I WILL HAVE A STUPENDOUS DAY!
I think I needed that today! I should read that every morning...
Absolutely true, Koralee! My girls and I were just talking about this very thing yesterday...you can CHOOSE to be depressed and gloomy when bad things happen...because they WILL happen. Or, you can CHOOSE to be positive and happy regardless of what happens to you...
So important to remember!
Have a beautiful day, my friend!
Julie
Oh how true! It's all a matter of deciding which kind of day you want to have.
xo
Claudia
a reminder I need daily.
well when you look at it that way ... who wants to be a part of that???? no thanks. i will try hard to make it a good day - and not be cranky and rude like some people! :)
wishing you a beautiful good day! xoxo
This is a great post- when you see it in that perspective you realize how ugly that is. A great reminder for all of us.
Smiling big today- thinking of this inspirational post.
Have a beautiful week sweet Koralee.
That's one good thing about the time change...I get up a little earlier! I love mornings! And we are in Florida now so I'm feeling great! Hugs! ♥♥♥
I'm off to a very nice & positive day! I wish you the same!
Love,
Camila F.
...and this is my RELAX time during a quick lunch break and thank you dearest for this fabulous reminder. It IS up to each one of us, isn't it? AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT that started my day smiling...how could I not after receiving a little Bluebird Note? LET US MARCH ON WITH LOVE IN OUR HEARTS AND WORDS AND ACTIONS! You are amazing my dear friend. Anita
I'm making it a good one! Just got home from a brisk walk with a dear friend! Now to have lunch with another one.... I hope you're having an especially good one too! xo
Let's go good day. I still would go for the doughnut though....that helps sweeten me up for the day ahead!!
Ashlyn
I choose a g o o d day. Your picture is amazingly awesome! We're off to another GOOD week. Happy hugs and much love to you, sweetest friend xxxxx and some more xxxxx
Good list. Good reminder of how its generally in our hands as to how we feel / how things turn out. The glass is half full!
WOW...I sure don't want to be around that person! LOL
Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for reminding me. :)Happy monday!
Love that pic! And a great reminder:-) I am having a fabulous day getting things done!!!
I never undersood people who's glass is half empty...what's the point? It's all about our perceptions, and I choose to see the positive in every situation x
How can one start off on a bad note when viewing that sweet photo?!
The words on how to have a bad day are a great reminder to not focus on the bad! It can lead to that downward spiral of despairing in God. And, as Marilla (from Anne of Green Gables) said, "To despair is to turn your back on God." ...Such a wise comment!
I hope you are having a VERY good day, Sweet Koralee! :)
xoxo Gloria
A Good Day!...
My Parents would joke sometimes with us...6 kids..if one is a bit cranky and off they would joke about getting up on the wrongside of the bed.. once one of us went back and got up again.
It is our choice :)
xo, Mary
I just love this Koralee! I want to print it out, frame it and read it every day! Your bottles stirred a memory of being little and having the milkman deliver milk to the inside of our back door. Thanks for the memory!
yikes! have you been following me around? :)
sometimes saying it in the negative makes the
point better.
thank you for the reminder.
I will make tomorrow a good day! Not that today was bad... mediocre I would say! ;)
Such a cute pic! Today was a good day :)
BOY OH BOY, IF YOU FOLLOW ALL OF THAT YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE A BAD DAY, I THINK AS YOU GET OLDER YOU WAKE UP LOOKING FOR A GOOD DAY, I'M 71 AND I REALLY TRY TO MAKE EVERYDAY A GOOD ONE, IT'S NOT EASY ALL THE TIME. HAVE A GOOD WEEK. RIZZI
I'm exhausted just thinking about this. Having a bad day is just too much trouble!
We love you Mrs. T
:o)
Thank you for the gracious reminder... along with a nostalgic ♥ photo ~ I remember milk at the doorstep... with Mmmmmm all that cream floating on top ~
We, too, had a similar discussion yesterday. Lots of great conversation about choosing an attitude that makes God smile ~
{hugs to you}

:) Thank you for brightening up my day (I'm feeling under the weather so I really needed it).
Oh Koralee!
You have a HEART and a SOUL of GOLD!
You are a dear dear person that SHINES so BRIGHT in this world!
Thank you for shining my way!

You are so INSPIRING! xoxoxoxo
It's so true. YOU can change everything. It is up to YOU. Great post.
Hi Koralee,
Lovely post, sweet friend and yes, the choice for me is to have a good day. Even though my mail service on the Internet has been down for a day.
The emails will be waiting when it comes back again.
Hope that you are having a beautiful week
Hugs

Hmmm...I am going to go with bad day :)...you had me at wake up late :) Hope you had fun at Target! I go too much :)
yes, it's so much nicer when we choose to make it a good day! :) thank you, as always, koralee!
I love this! I am copying, pasting, and printing, and it's going on my night table, and will be read every night before I go to bed. I think that is exactly what I need. You're brilliant!
Ooh you caught me right off guard there - it's a fair cop! I shall make another cup of tea, take deep breath and start all over again!
Thanks Koralee, how did you know?
Love Sarah x
