It’s one of those days where I feel good about my work–everything is going great and I’m full of inspiration. I’m convinced there’s a way to trick myself into feeling this way all the time. After all, it’s just as possible to feel good all the time–or most of the time anyway–as it is to feel bad.

But what is causing this burst of work-related goodness? Is it because….

… I have been making a conscious effort to thank God for the opportunity and freedom to write every day?

… I have been making a conscious effort to think things like Yay, I get to write now! instead of things like Oh bummer, I have to write now?

… I just finished a large project and I’m feeling relief after the burden has being taken off my shoulders?

… this is the view out of my office window?

Your guess is as good as mine. But my hands are healed–no more pain–and I have a plate full of new possibilities before me. It’s a lovely day.
