Life today seems so busy between work, school, friends, family and extracurricular activities. It can be difficult to appreciate each day and remember the good times. It is so easy to focus on the bad days and let those days be the ones that stand out in our mind. More often than not, it seems once that good day has passed, it is forgotten. Sure, people remember good days but often it is the really good days, such as getting married or graduating, that people remember. Seldom do we recognize the ordinary days that are still happy.

If you have a day where nothing incredibly bad happens, consider it a good day. Something incredible does not have to happen for it to be a good day! Imagine all of the things that happen each day that you take for granted. In many parts of the world, the simple things we take for granted would make their day amazing.
