Day 58

Today started out perfectly. I woke up, i worked out, I hung out with my kitties on the front porch and watched the sun rise. Came up with my thought for the day:

Watch a sunrise or sunset. Take in the beauty and enjoy the calmness that surrounds you. During the stressful parts of your day, let that calmness sweep over you by closing your eyes and remembering the sunrise/set!

Then came to work. Had an informative but LONG meeting, which set me behind for the day, thought I pushed through. I then got some not so great news, still pushed through, dealt with annoying changes and wanting to not be nice to people, pushed through, was not invited to someone's birthday celebration who i adore.. (neither were others) and felt like I was back in the 2nd grade sitting alone for lunch. I am sure it was not intentionally, just rather not nice to not invite the entire office of 13 people to another persons birthday celebration. I pushed through, until I got in the car, then i cried a little and pushed through that to find the perfect frame for my gift for my friend C. Super excited to get home and put it all together.

I am proud I am smiling right now, because I pushed through today. if you try hard enough, you really can keep other from effecting your mood. Now did I succeed the entire day... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but i was able to catch it when my mood changed or a bad thought was creeping in and was able to think positively. I am training myself and before long it will just happen naturally! I am glad I constantly strive to be a better person. I hope others can see that and if they cannot, then I do not want them in my life! Life it too shot.. push through the bad and find the good!
