My oh my it’s been a busy Tuesday. I started off with a staff meeting at work then a presentation to a group of new employees. As I write this its mid-morning and I am now getting a few things done before I hop on the phones. It’s been a long day this morning. Coffee will be my friend today. Let’s hope the rest of this nice Fall day goes by smoothly.
My dear blogging friends I hope your day goes well. Do good things today good people. Grace and peace.
Did I mention I am not a fan of Tuesdays…yep, not a fan.
My Sunday has been far from a restful day and I enjoyed it. This morning we went to church and afterwards we enjoyed our first pot luck dinner in the form of a tailgating party. This afternoon was spent at work helping with some production and getting a couple things done. Tonight we went to dinner at my folks house. I chilled out this evening watching some television and some blogging. I won’t lie, I am tired and I look forward to an evenings rest and relaxation.
I hope you all have had a good weekend. We now face the week ahead, lets do our best!
I am happy to be at the end of the week. Don’t get me wrong I love where I work and the work I do matters but I like the weekends. This is one of those times of day when I feel like I have given my best and helped my team at work do their best. Now is time to chill out and enjoy what the weekend holds.
Whatever you are up to this weekend, may it be great. Enjoy yourselves. Be awesome doing it too!
The world is changing whether we like it or not. What was new is now old. The good old days were not good for everyone. Gays can get married in this country now and in other countries. There is a person of color who is president of the United States. Your cell phone replaces a lot of different things like your camera and your personal music player. Boys play with dolls and have tea parties while girls wear cammo and drive a pickup truck. Girls have more opportunities to be awesome women. Racism seems to be sticking around although things are getting better. Men stay at home to care for family and children. Women are running big companies and a few have run countries. Some women are even ministers. The old boy network is being shattered daily. Johnny Carson is no longer on the Tonight Show. Netflix is a noun and a verb, so is Google for that matter. Change is hard, even for me. Traditions adapt to modern times. We are a digital world with some analog people. The struggle continues but more and more the world is changing. Are you going to keep up or fall by the way side?
Everyone goes through a rough patch about something. Trying not to panic and staying cool through it all is a challenge. Our response to stressful events in life says a little about who we are. People react differently to things and its easy to lose your composure when facing a difficult situation.
My advice is to breathe, meditate, pray. Keeping things in perspective can be helpful. Breaking down something big into more manageable elements is always good. Little victories can snowball into big wins. So my friends whatever you are going through is a temporary event, you can make it through, do your best.
