Good evening!
I have been having a…er…let’s just say…a challenging kind of week or two! This morning, I realized that I was walking on a slippery slope of wallowing in negativity, which then has the ability to create more negativity, you’ve heard the saying – you get what your mind stays focused on!
Anyway, I decided that I had better change what I focus on tout de suite!! So, I decided that today would be
MY DAY OF AWESOMENESS!!!
My Day Of Awesomeness is basically my version of Pollyanna’s Glad Game! I purposefully and actively look for the good in everything that comes my way in a day!! NO MATTER WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING!! It is not always easy, but now that I have done this all day, it really has made a big difference in my attitude this evening!!
I thought I would share my list of AWESOMENESS that I have accumulated for today!! 🙂
- Jason made me laugh this as he saw me off to work this morning
- I didn’t have to follow Queen Roadrage on the way to work today (that was how my yesterday morning started!)
- Followed Slowpoke McGee on drive in this morning, but every time we hit a red light he took his baseball cap and scratched his head…maybe he’s OCD? Or he needs a bigger hat? Or maybe he had a poorly placed mosquito bite??? The possibilities were endless, and thinking about it made me laugh! Completely changed my attitude towards him! Not only that, but this poor guy was a HUGE guy in an itty bitty toy sized truck! I felt for him!
- Brad Paisley music is fun to sing really loud to – and that is what I got to listen to in the car!
- Got the perfect spot on 5th floor of parking garage
- Got to work on time
- My coworkers Karla and Britany are such a breathe of fresh air!!! I LOVE them!!!
- Had fun helping Gayle in her office! (Gayle is one of my glamorous peeps at work!)
- Got to enjoy a skinny, sugar free, iced mocha this morning!
- Jennie was in the bed control meeting this morning! She’s awesome!!!!
- Got to surprise my coffee guy by going back and thanking him for my “AWESOME” drink! He was tickled pink! (At least I would like to think so!!!)
- Robyn says that since today is St Paddy’s Day if you wear green you get “smooches”, if you don’t, you get “pinches”! (I LOVE THAT!!!)
- Had a giggling lunch with my girlfriend, Chris!
- Got to make someone’s day making them a mock voodoo doll to help put things in perspective!
- Had a brownie at the office’s after lunch dessert bar celebration! YUMMY!!!
- Got off work only 15 minutes late…which is not something I get to do so often – I am usually SOOOO MUCH later!! So…WHOO! HOO!!!
- I finished recording my Art Journal Thursday video, and made headway editing it for Thursday!
- I finished an entire art journal this afternoon, which I LOVE because not only do I get to start a new journal, it is a little smaller, so it will be more to work in – not so much pressure to produce on such large real estate!!
- I tried a favorite recipe, from memory, that my x-boyfriend’s mom taught me when I was a teen and it turned out AWESOMELY!!! (It was Tater Tot Casserole!, in case you were curious!!!)
- As of this evening, we are officially caught up on all of our bills and are back on our way to being debt free again!! CAN I GET AN AMEN???
- My sweetie came home in a really good mood this evening!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! 😉 He is such a charmer!! I JUST LOVE THAT MAN!!! 😉
- I got to spend some time peacefully listening to some fun country music this evening!!
- I am loving the knowledge that I will be crawling into a well made bed this evening, with freshly cleaned sheets!! AAAAH!! It’s the simple things in life…I AM TELLING YOU!!! 😉
WHEW!!! It is AMAZING how just changing your focus really changes your entire outlook on what is possible in any given day!! I would encourage you to give it a try…matter of fact, I may just do that again tomorrow!!! 😉
Here is to having a BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE life!! 😉
