Super good - but I am getting better!

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Starting last Thursday our power was out for parts of our street - most of the weekend. We got it back briefly on Thursday. Friday morning right when I started shaving it went off again. And I had a speaking engagement that Friday.

I can hear you screaming: ‘Bad hair day!’ And on top of that my daughter didn’t really sleep that night.

Still—everyone asking me how I was doing got the answer: Super good but I am getting better!

Be prepared that most people will laugh about it. Some will turn around before you are even finished talking. Think they were really interested in an answer? And a few will tell you how sorry they are to hear that you have been sick!

How positive are you when you get up in the morning and see the rain pouring at your windows? Or have no power? Or only freezing cold water to wash and shower with? Stand for hours in the typical rush hour? Do you get in the office grunting about life or do you tell your co-workers,
employees and superiors how wonderful live it? Did you give your family the brightest smile ever before you left for work?

Today I am outstanding—AND I am improving.
