As I get older, but no wiser, my definition of a good day has changed.
When I was younger, a good day was when I was able to do a lot of good 
things for myself. Now, as I have gotten older, a good day is when I 
have less things to do. And the lesser, the gooder the day in my 
opinion. 

Through the years, I have stumbled onto a secret. I will pass it along,
but let us just keep it between us. It is something that has 
dramatically changed my days. 

I have discovered that a “good day” is when I do less for myself and
more for the other resident in our home. Of course, the less she knows 
I am doing for her, the gooder the day for me. It has taken me a long 
time to learn this, and I am still on the learning track. 

The longer I keep this from her, the better it will be for me in the
end. 

Now I can identify my “good day” where before I had no idea. 

In pondering this, I remembered something Jesus said. “Give, and it
shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken 
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with 
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” 
(Luke 6:38). 

You may not hear me barking, but I am learning what a good day is and
how to have it.
