I was out for my walk at dusk today. I’d really wanted to be outside in the afternoon sunshine, but I had a project deadline and there were problems to iron out that kept me at my desk too long.

As I was walking I thought, “I wouldn’t want this day to repeat.” That made me think about the movie “Groundhog Day” – a day that continually repeats until the lead character gets a clue about his life and becomes grateful for it. I laughed to myself in the realization that this was what I needed to get about this day.

Every day has some sweetness, something that bears repeating and being grateful for – like this walk at dusk.

How do you deal with your Groundhog Days?
