Today started right away with a carpenter who works on the set of the television series “Sons of Anarchy.” He came in right when the clock struck six, looking for an item “Some guy from the studio called and talked to someone about yesterday” (eyeroll).  I asked him if he had any idea what the item was and he said “no”, followed by “some bracket looking thing.”  Okay, we’re getting somewhere, further at least from nowhere which is where we started.  After a little bit of joking and talking I figured out what he was looking for and finished up the sale.  You could tell that he really enjoyed what he does for a living, even if he was sent out with very little info, he still made it work.  I like to think he made his choice when he woke up this morning to do his best and stay on the brighter side.  I did the same thing this morning on my way to work.  It felt really great to have a little fun throughout the day and I think I am going to make this choice everyday.  It’s not easy, I mean, sometimes you want something and end up with nothing and sometimes you want some of everything and end up with a belly ache.  This is one thing I am going to do, everyday.  Life has a way of handing you some pretty serious challenges when you least expect it, or even deserve it.  Some good friends of mine lost their house and their dogs to a fire over the weekend.  They were not ready, nor expecting, nor deserving of this I can tell you.  The things you can control in life are your attitude and your happiness, so wake up and choose to be happy, then force a sunny attitude and I guarantee a good day.
