Every day takes work. We live many many days on this earth, some of us get more days than others. And each day is a gift, although we don't always see it as such.
It takes work and perseverance to be a thankful being on this planet Earth. We can slouch through our days, thinking things like, "Today I am going to be sad because the sun isn't shining, or I have to work today and it's Monday so I will look forward to Friday when I can feel happier."
Happiness is not just an attitude; it's an everyday commitment. Starting your day with ritual helps (more about rituals another time). You can choose to start your day with a short (or long) meditation. You can start your day by climbing into the shower and counting all the things you are grateful for this day. There are many many ways you can start your days with a sense of the sacred within.
What's important here is that you do something besides roll out of bed and trudge along, making that first cup of coffee the most important thing to 'start' your day. Your day has already started the minute you opened your eyes and you were breathing! God and the Universe and your sacred wondrous physical body has already done everything to put you on this planet for another day. Now it's your turn to do some work not only at appreciating it, but striving to turn the ordinary day into something sacred.
Go for it!
