I don’t mean this in a cynical way. As a matter of fact, I think it’s encouraging. So many times during the day, I focus on what could be or the “best” things in life, forgetting to be thankful for the mediocre.
But isn’t it the mediocre that sets the standard for the ‘best?’ Maybe I’m just lazy and looking for the easy way out, but if everyday, all day was as great as I sometimes wish it could be, then all those days would really just become normal by comparison. Right?
Anyway, it seems more to me that good days and bad days are largely a state of mind. Not something you can toggle like a light-switch, of course. But something you have to work at and pray about in advance.
On the whole, I’m thankful that mediocre is the one setting the pace.
