Mr. Positive Quote of the Day 275 - Inspired

Hello everyone,

“Dreaming big? Don’t let a bad day keep you from following through on your plans - Stay inspired and focused on your goals!”
― Narghiza Ergashova

Personal story time. Life can absolutely suck. You can have what should be, what you think is a the best wonderful day ever and someone else can think the exact opposite.

You see, yesterday was Canada here in, well, Canada. It was time to celebrate with family. I don't know how long the wife was preparing. The plan was to go to the sons and daughter-in-laws and the two grand daughters for the day.

I would say my wife spent more than a week doing thing, little things, some bit things, getting ready. From buying little things for the kids, to make food and desert. When I packed the trunk to go down yesterday it was almost full.

We got there. Me, my wife, and my wife's mother who is almost 88. The first thing that happens is my mother-in-law falls going into the house. That is all fine, we get her picked up and she is fine. She did not fall hard more like a crumple to the floor. She is known to do this.

I got situated on the couch and I guess I had a couple little naps. I could go on and on but I am trying to get to a point here.

We got home last evening and my wife looked really tired and pissed off. It was time to have a chat. And one of my down falls in a relationship is talking. But I make myself do it. To try and get to the bottom of the issue and to try and make her feel better.

You see, my wife had nine full years under her belt living with cancer. This month was eleven months since treatments ended because there is nothing else they (her cancer team) can do for her. She is tired all the time. She pushes herself, to hard, all the time, when she can. She has more bad days that good ones.

She wanted yesterday to be the perfect day. With the effort she put in. Nothing in life is perfect. She told me all the things that went wrong yesterday. From her mother falling, to her hurting her back trying to help her up, to me seeming to be distant, to the grand kids not wanting her to leave, to small accidents that a 2 and 5 year old do.

She felt like her whole effort was wasted.

I tried to comfort her. I explained how 90 percent of the day was perfect. In my Mr. Positive way. How I napped when I first got there because I was out in the heat planting polls for the fence. How her mother was fine. I was distant because there was no room around the supper table, I was inside with one grand daughter while they were all outside.

The grand daughters did not want her to leave because they love her so much.

I could go on and on even more.

I understand her point of view. I wish I could change hers. Maybe someway I did get something through to her, I hope.

But as she said: I am dying, I don't know how much time I have left, I want everything to be perfect when I put in the effort. I understand.

Do I understand exactly how she feels. No I don't. There is no way to. In here situation, and everyone with a terminal illness there is no way to understand. You have to support to the best of your ability.

She will come around, she always does. Thank goodness.

I could easily let this get me down. I could let this bad situation pull me down into darkness and negativity also. But I won't let it. I cannot go there for my wife's sake or my own. I have to be the strength for both of us. No matter what. And I am happy and proud to do it.

There is a saying when you go to work, especially if you are dealing with the public. Leave your troubles at the door. It is not always easy to do but you have to create separation.

The same goes true for here on Hive. I have big dreams and goals. I cannot let the bad days, the bad moments keep me down. I can do like I am doing here and use the negative and flip it, use it.

1427 strait days on Hive, and this will be 1427th strait day posting. No matter what I am staying inspired and focused on my goals.

With everything going on in my life I am still Alive and Thriving
