What does a good day look like?
What will it take for you to design it?
For me, a good day starts with a good night’s sleep. Anything that will keep me up at night is designed out, for example, eating a late heavy meal or checking my email when in bed.
Next, I achieve something of value to me before I turn on the lights. I meditate and I write. Meditation zeroes me in to my being, and writing sets a new direction.
Then I talk to my loved ones. Without any distractions. I act as their cockcrow, making sure they are gifted with a new day, and an upside down rainbow on their lips.
Finally, I turn on the music box, do some light work out, and hit refresh on my body in the bathroom.
Whatever the day brings after that, I am ready.
The start of my day is the critical design element of my whole day.

A fact
Matthew 12:46-50
While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Homily:
It is easy to think, “If only I was the mother or kinsman of Jesus, things would have been different for me.”
Jesus makes it clear that being connected to him was more about obedience to the will of God, than blood ties.
Your relationship with Jesus is up to you, and you decide whether you are a brother, sister, or stranger.
