Thursday October 10, 2013...


    Not a bad day if we don't count the awful cold and wetness of the stormy gray day.  I woke up late and had a semi bad start, but once I got to work I was having a good day.  I have been trying to smile more during the day and it does seem to keep the calls from going too bad.
     The day dragged on and on but I 'm sure that is because I have to work on Saturday.  I don't like to work on Saturdays but I guess I can always come home and take a nap.  I hope that at 6 in the morning I am going to want to smile on my calls.
      I did unfortunately use the word 'idiot' while driving home , but come on some people are just idiots.  I also found myself taking deep breaths and telling myself to have patience without reminding myself to do it.  Maybe it's sinking in.
     I haven't had any exercise today though, it was just too cold and wet to go for my walk and I was so busy making dinner I didn't think about doing anything inside. I know it does help my mood though.
     I also have found myself smiling a lot today.  Not just conscientiously telling myself to smile on my calls, but driving down the road and all a sudden I realize I am smiling.  weird.
     I am grateful for having a car to get around in, and a job to pay for the gas and the bills.  I am grateful for a warm house and food to feed my children.  I am grateful for my friends and family and for all those that genuinely care about me.
    Tomorrow may bring more rain, or shine but either way I'll put on my smile and tackle it with this new found need to find happiness in everyday.
