Planes in the sky....it's gonna be a great day!

I will let you in on a little secret of mine. I have a funny habit that stems from a nightly routine I go through with Buster and Rowdy. Buster is my 10-year old Chihauhau and Rowdy is my 10- or 11-year old mini Dachshund. (I got Rowdy when he was either 3 or 4 years old...nobody really knew, so now he's 10 or 11 years old.) Hahaha

Anywhoooooo......we go out for our nightly walk around the house so that Buster and Rowdy can do their evening "business", which usually means walking around the house three times and sniffing on every blade of grass. When the perfect blade of grass is found, they lift a leg and shower it with ...well, you know. While I take this nightly stroll with them, one of my all -time favorite things to do is gaze into the sky and look at all the stars. I find the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, and other star constellations. And since I am in a very small little town, with very little street lights, the sky on a clear night is truly spectacular!

One night years ago I noticed a jet.....way, way up in the sky. You can only see if it you are really looking intently at the sky and can determine the steady blinking of the red and white beacon lights each plane should have while in flight versus the twinkling of a star (which is a whole other story). I stand there and imagine 150+ people and crew members on that tiny, tiny thing up in the air. They are probably at this time of night, snug in their seats, probably watching a movie and sipping on some expensive drink and munching on some expensive peanuts or pretzels (blech). But it just amazes me that that many people are in what looks to be a tiny, tiny silver cigar with wings. I imagine what airport they took off from and from the direction they are going what airport they will be landing in eventually. I sense that all is well up there, and all is well here on solid ground. And I always say, "It's been a great day, and will be a great day tomorrow!"

But what really makes me happy is when I see not one, but two or three, or even four or five planes in the air....all transporting people to and fro. (Imagine....500+ people in the air, all watching their movies, sipping drinks and munching on peanuts.) Hahaha...... but I just tell myself, "It's going to be a fabulously GREAT day tomorrow after seeing all these planes!"

And it usually is a fabulously great day the next day!! Point of the story....your attitude, your outlook on life, how your day goes is all depending on YOU. Look UP..... think positive, find the good things in life and enjoy every moment of it, even if it's the tiniest of silver cigars with wings high in the sky that you notice while your dogs are peepeeing on every blade of grass!

Have a wonderful DAY!!
