Was there a chalk line around your body this morning?

This morning I stopped by a local convenience store for a cup of coffee. The man who checked out before me ordered two tins of chewing tobacco and five Powerball tickets.

Handing him his loot and taking his money, the clerk asked “So, are you set for a good day?”

“I doubt it,” he replied with a scowl.

It made me think of a line that Les Brown uses. He says that every morning when he wakes up, he looks around his body. If he doesn’t see a chalk line, he knows it’s going to be a great day!

If you are reading this, it is a fair assumption that when you woke up this morning, there was not a chalk line around your body.

So what sort of a day did you choose to have when you got out of bed?
