Long Weeks




Every week has the same number of days,

the same number of hours

and the same number of  minutes .......

So why is it some weeks go slower than others???





This was my thought for the day as I sat there on my morning break, grumbling about how long the week has seemed.  And I found myself wondering why?  What's the difference between this week or last week, or any other week?  And I came up with a one word answer:  Attitude.


Attitude is everything!  If you're grumbling, if you're unhappy with what you're doing, time will seem to drag on and on.

How can we change that?  Other than improving our attitude there may be a few things that help.  When we're on vacation, time flies!  But that's because we're having fun.  At the same time, we're also making a mental picture/journal so we remember all those special moments.

Now I'm not saying that on the job we're going to remember all the little details... that's like being right back at work!   But maybe we can change our attitude to get through the work day, and then taking time to do something for ourselves, something that gives up pleasure.

It's the little moments that make a good day versus a bad day!

Stars





One of the benefits of starting my work day at 5am

happened this morning:

I was watching the sky and saw a shooting star!!






Otherwise, it was a rough Tuesday for me.  At work, I smashed my left index finger, there's a blood blister at the base of my nail.  Then, in the late night, Sadie needed to go outside, so I staggered out of bed and opened the back door, and it slung into my right foot, and either broke or badly bruised two toes.  Walking on it, or putting pressure on it, has been painful all day.  (But I'm not a wimp, I worked my 8+ hours, then hit the gym after work!)  Now that dinner is finished, I will put some ice on it, see if I can change them from purple to normal again. :)
