Not All Days are Good Ones

Somewhere along the line we have been told that every day must be a good day, or at least we should live so as to never have a bad day.  Really?!  Is that true for anyone?  The days are as they are.  Where we get ourselves all tangled up is when we make judgements about the day. The day is neither good nor bad.  It is just the day, as it is, how it is.  There is no good or bad about it.  But just think abut how many things we label as good or bad.  Start with little things such as a "bad hair day".  Not it's not. Your hair is just the way it is today.  Good weather or bad weather.  No, just the weather. When we practice no good, no bad, just as it is we can begin to experience things just as they, how they are, where they are, when they are.  The next time you want to identify something as good or bad, step back and say instead, it is as it is.
