Silly Saturday

Cats pick the strangest positions to sit in. He might have been preening when Ryan snapped this photo. Chomps is a funny kitty and he's always telling us good stories. He has hundreds of different meows and sometimes I feel like we are having a conversation. Whenever I need a good laugh, I'll get out some catnip. He goes bonkers over the herb.

Roof or party deck?

There's live music, energetic conversation, sunny skies. It's a good night to be out at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Yesterday, I listed my top 5 and it was a fun exercise in focusing on the positives of a day. I would like to continue that to today and encourage you to do the same. Staying positive is not easy but it's good for your health.
My top 5 for Thursday:
1: I had a Lara bar for snack, yummy!
2: I shared tips with my coworkers to help with sales.
3: It rained today, so refreshing!
4: I came up with a new career plan.
5: I came to the museum to have a good time.

Feel free to share your top 5 with me or at least write it down. It is a valuable activity.

Today's accomplishment

It was a long day, full of internal struggles and challenges. I want to do a really good job but sometimes that is hard to do. Its especially hard for myself and any other first-born kids out there. Traditionally the first-born comes into the world with a certain amount of perfectionism.

Today’s accomplishment was going to Peoples Church and it was a great encouragement. I met some people and had a good conversation about humility. I am always praying for wisdom but tonight I am very thankful for all the goodness that God has given me and I was reminded of that tonight.

Distractions are good

Today’s rating is Positive.

Work was less demanding, I had a good conversation with HR at a company for a potential opportunity, and scheduled an appointment to show off the home. A lot was completed today, which is always very good.

I read an article about what to do when you hate your job. I found it useful because it is so important to distract yourself from a stressful situation. I find that I need a new distraction every day. Some days, I’m distracted by tv and other days I’m distracted by an activity with friends. This has been an effective strategy for me. If you find yourself blue and wallowing in misery, find something positive to distract you from the tough situation. You’ll feel better, like me.
