You’ve got to accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative.

Latch on to the affirmative. Don’t mess with Mister In-Between. - Arlen & Mercer

An incredible friend of mine once made me a compilation he calls M+A’s Finite Playlist – including this song. It’s a playlist I shuffle quite often. And every time I hear this song, I think of him.

Life is ridiculously unpredictable sometimes. Bring joy up to the maximum. Wherever you can. Whenever you can. Even on Mondays, fundays or not so much.

I used to think, OK, Monday. Start with the hard stuff. Get that done first. Only there are times when it’s all seemingly hard stuff, and then what do you do? Accentuate the positive, find your groove and let things fall into place.

Often that groove is called Tuesday, so be patient.

And sometimes you just need a little Sam Cooke to get you going – no messing with Mister In-Between. xo a.
