Happy new year!
Happy new year everyone!
Let’s see… the new year started out okay. Someone in the Kroger parking lot opened their red pickup truck door into my white car and it looked like a peppermint. Luckily, the wonderful people at the Honda dealership buffed the red paint right off and so I am left with a small ding on the passenger door. I can live with that.
My son has been wonderful lately (knock on wood). He has been so sweet. He saw a picture of a pregnant woman on one of those pregnancy books and he said, “that’s mama.” He talks about his baby sister, Emmy, a lot and that’s really sweet. I think he’s excited about it.
Work…awesome. We have been pretty busy with different projects (that we are actually making progress on) and the whole atmosphere has changed.
I finished a book the other night, Gift of Change by Marianne Williamson. I have to say that since reading that book, I have made changes in my personal and spiritual life. I have felt calmer and more in control of how my life goes. It’s only been about five days, but the difference in my attitude has really made a difference in my life and the life of those around me. Thanks to my Slice for sending the book! Really. It could not have arrived at a better time. One of the things I have learned in therapy, and from the book, is that change isn’t easy. You have to work at it. It’s easy to slink back into old habits of behavior. I’m tired of doing that. I’m tired of doing things in my life because they are easy. I enjoy the benefits of hard work when it comes to my job, and now I am translating that to my life. I’m learning to enjoy things for what they are and to stop stressing so much. If I am late, I will find a way to make up the time. If there are dishes in the sink, I will find the time to take care of it. Everything doesn’t have to be done NOW. Everything isn’t on a time schedule and I need to start enjoying things. This doesn’t mean I’ve become a slacker. I’m just letting myself off the hook for things that really aren’t that crucial in the grand scheme of life.
I just can’t relate to people who slack off at work and in life. Unfortunately, I know people like that and it is so apparent that they just don’t make an effort anymore. It’s very sad. Maybe this year they will realize that they are only hurting themselves and alienating others.
Other than that, everything is okay. I have my ups and downs, but right now things are on an up and so I want to celebrate that.
Here’s to good things for everyone in 2007!
