Every day is a good day.

Every day is good day
I believe that every day is a good day. Sometimes not-so-good things do happen but the fact remains that every day can be a good day. How so?
Take for instance my day today. I woke up bright and early at the crack of dawn to get ready to drive for 30km with my son as he is going to crèche and meet a school associates. As I was dragging myself out of bed after letting the alarm ring for a good 15 minutes, I received a slap in the face from my two years old son. He was saying to me (Vuka tata it means woke up dad) and moved my blankets till, I jump out of the bed. The irony, I cannot tell you how he knew that day, he was going to the crèche.
So what’s so good about that? I got up and spent an hour getting him to dress for the big day. He had a healthy breakfast and chatted with Mum – all of which he normally don’t do because I always left him fast asleep. Then he met with his peers for the first time to play with and learns to communicate with in English as he speaks Xhosa at home. It turned out that he was eager to inter act with them and it was long overdue, he had speak and play with them. To cut a long story sort, my son amaze me with everything that day, his mother, grandmother, teachers from crèche and his peers.   
So the morale of a long story is ‘every day can be a good day’. I was inconvenienced that every day is a good day, unless I allowed myself to be not a good day. I had fun writing this 18th blog for media studies.
Every day can be a good day when we choose our attitude and response to the people and events that feature in the day!
