Murphy's Law Revisited

I was advised today by a friend that I am sickly preoccupied by Murphy's Law - you know the one - what can go wrong will go wrong...

It was pointed out that while while my 'macro' may be a mess - you know - life for me as it exists over all. This is true, but I continually make steps to improve upon it, so that one day my 'macro' will be ummm... less messy than it is now.
My 'micro' on the other hand, is doing quite well and I should celebrate the mundane victories that exist within the 'micro' of my life.

For instance:
Today my socks match - Yay! A victory for me!
I did not trip and fall on my face on the way to the bathroom this morning - Yay! There's another!
I got to cuddle with my son and watch a movie we both enjoyed last night - Yay! There's another!

I am sure you see where this is going - I ned to celebrate the things that go right rather than worry about the things that can and will go wrong

I was also advised that I spend too much time regretting the past which I guess is true as well. I need to concentrate more on making things happen in the here and now - I need to live in the moment - acknowledge that which has happened before and learn from it so it will not be repeated and not worry so much about what will happen next. I need to be present for my 'here aand now'.
A good way of thinking for sure.

I am going to try it and let you know, loyal readers, how it goes. As for the lot of you - make a list of five mundane victories that you have had today and let us celebrate the mundane together.

Let me get you started:

1. You logged onto the internet without crashing the computer - Yay 4 you!

and for those of you interested in all things mundane let me point you in the right direction by sending you to the 'School of the Mundane' which is a free for all journal cronicalling all thing mundane in our daily life. For something that prides itself on its equisite sense of the mundane - it is actually quite amazing how much has been written on the subject - but don't tell anyone I said that...

For those of you interested in the 'mundane' comic posted above visit www.deliciousbrains.com and check out the amaaaaaaazzzzzing work they have posted there. I found the site accidentally while running a google search on the word "mundane".
