It's cool like dat, its col like dat...
Our most profound joy is often experienced during ordinary moments. What was one of your most joyful ordinary moments this year?
(Author: Brené Brown)
To me joyful ordinary moments can happen anytime and sometimes maybe multiple times a day, so its hard to define just one in year. You see for me it’s the simple things. Like being able to sleep in on a cold rainy day; or eating dry mein, a cheeseburger, and fries with ketchup, mustard, and mayo on the fries at Sam Sato’s.
It can be even simpler like telling someone good morning or opening a door for someone and having them smile. My 7th grade English teacher Mrs. Whitford used to have a sign in her classroom, “Catch’um being good”. She told us that if you do something positive for someone, even the simplest, smallest things like a “good morning” or “thank you”, you might brighten that person’s day and they in turn may do something positive for someone else. Soon you could even start a chain reaction, she would remind us. Till this day if a passing stranger gives me a smile when I say “good morning”, “thank you”, or just open a door I think of Mrs. Whitford and that great life lesson she thought.
So my joyful ordinary moments are pretty simple, but then again a majority of the time life is pretty simple, its just our nature to make it complicated at times.
I am a Buddhist who likes sports especially the Cowboys, Dodgers, Phillies, and Longhorns. I like good food and good sake. Of course I am always looking for that occasional inspiration, I am a Buddhist remember! Why am I doing this? I guess its just a social experiment. An attempt to share and communicate with others in a positive way. So if "Its cool like dat, its Col like dat!"
