Yesterday was a rough day at work, and I brought that attitude home with me. I am unhappy with myself when I let that happen. Why should I be carrying all that baggage of the day into my evening, my time away from work? And yet, we still do it, even when we're aware.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill
As luck would have it ... correction: it isn't luck ..... it is much caring. But, I always feel better after I'm able to talk the bad things out with someone very special to me. He shares his wisdom, and asks questions so that I can figure out my direction on my own. He is a blessing to have in my life!! (HUGS!)
If you don't like something change it;
if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.

Sometimes, just talking about it makes it better. Toward the end of my evening, most of my attitude was gone, and my mindset was more about finding a way to succeed at my new position rather than fight what it is for the moment. And maybe that would enlighten me to a way to make things better - for me, and for work. Just that slight change in thinking, and today went much smoother. (Of course, having a request fulfilled certainly added to a better attitude .... *giggles* ... TY !! ) if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was some kind of attitude adjustment switch we could flip on or off as we're leaving work? Over the years, especially when my kids were younger, I realized how important it is to use the time between work and home to change up that attitude. And I've found several things that do the trick: Peace and quiet; classical music; good 80's rock; or some jumping oldies; calling a good friend. Whatever the trick is for you, sometimes its just being aware of our attitude --- before we get home ... so we don't have to take it out on the dog. :)
HUGS to everyone
