Pretty Good, Not Bad, Can’t Complain…

…well, actually, everything is just about the same.

Many is the time that I have been greeted in the morning with this question: “Howzit Going?” And many mornings people greet me with “Morning” as opposed to “Good Morning!”

The title of this post and subsequent line are from John Prine’s song titled “Pretty Good”. I am not a big fan of John Prine, but this song’s title always caught my ear. When someone asked me how it’s going, I respond with that line. The vast majority of people then respond to me with something about complaining doesn’t do any good anyway.

Ah, but it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. It is simply a matter of knowing when to squeak.

It’s all about attitude. Like the glass that is half-full or half-empty. You can choose to start your day on a positive note or not. What you expect from your day will be a self-fulfilling prophesy. Expect trouble and most likely you will get it.

It’s up to you.
