ATTITUDE is everything! It all started while I was watching the weather forecast, mumbling of course under my breath the entire time, "Average high of 37 degrees, average low of 25 degrees...really? How miserable is the weather!"
Then I stepped out onto my balcony several times last night, watching our new eight-week-old Golden puppy frolic, happy as could be! Meanwhile, the wind is stinging my face and I couldn't feel my toes--I'm pretty sure I wasn't very happy. "Stay consistent, stay strong, must endure (all apart of the potty training process)!..this week is not going to be a good week!"
On my way to work, I didn't have one positive thought, all I could think about was how much I hated the cold. Then I got to work and sure enough our suite was freezing! "I am miserable!"
Finally, during my lunch, seeking out any warm spot on our floor, I sit at a sun exposed conference table, then something happened. "This is nice," I tell myself. I got all warm and fuzzy, even caught myself looking out the window. "Wow, it's actually a beautiful sunny day!" Then I realize that I went from, "the weather is miserable!" to "I'm miserable!" but it didn't have to be that way--there is something good in everyday. Lesson learned!
So, stay positive and join us this week here at Pathways!
