Good morning and happy hump day, everyone!!!
First thing this morning when I signed on to my computer and facebook, as I normally do, the first post I seen just made me shake my head. Then I thought, now my day is shot to hell. THEN I thought, nope it's up to you and your decision on how this day is going to go. So as much as it irritated me to see yet another post like this in my feed, I made the decision to just scroll on and be happy :)
There is enough in every day life that can bring us down, why let something so trivial as a facebook post do the job right out of the gate.
Today is going to be a busy one. Work, meetings, more work, more meetings, then hopefully get the camper swept and mopped and the clean sheets and blankets put back on the bed. I have a tiny bit left to put in the camper before it is ready to head out for a weekend away!!! Then hubby will do the shopping on Friday and get his part ready to go by the time I get off work. I will miss this aspect of life once the colder months here in Indiana arrive.
They're coming, ya know. When I would get up at this hour a few weeks ago, the birds would begin their songs around 5 a.m. now it is around 6 a.m. which tells me they are sleeping later these days. Which means fall will be here before we know it. I don't mind camping in the fall, because there is nothing more beautiful in nature than the fall leaves reflecting off of a lake. But that too will soon come to an end and we'll be preparing for the cold and snow. Which is also beautiful in its own right.
I'm trying a little something to see how well it works. I have horrible dry skin in the colder months which usually begins about now with the weather going from chilly to hot. So, I picked up some pure coconut oil and am hoping to nip the dry skin in the butt before it really gets started. I've only used it two days and so far so good. I'm liking the effects. I'll let you know how it does as the harsher weather appears.
This week has been one thing after another. Staying positive has been a challenge to say the least. I had to do a few things I HATE doing, but being a part of the job it had to be done. One thing in this life that rubs me raw is excuses. I can come up with excuses with the best of them, but in the end I know it is just another excuse and it's not going to get the job done. I hate when people also play the blaming game. At least when I make an excuse I know it has nothing to do with someone else, but my own lack of motivation.
It's easy to place blame elsewhere to make it easier for us to accept what we didn't accomplish. But man, in the end someone else is going to end up picking up the slack and that isn't right to the few who do it anyway. So that is where I have to step up and hopefully fix the wrong. Even though I hate this part of the job, it has to be done.
I never ask more of someone else than I myself would do. Advice I received years ago from my father-in-law when it came to holding a position of authority in any company. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty right along side the team you work with. I've always taken that advice to heart and I can hear him speaking those words today just as I did all those years ago when he actually said them.
I also know me being me, that I should not expect everything I would go over the top with from others. Because not everyone is as OCD as I can be and I understand this very well. It's my own personal demon and I would not wish it upon anyone else :) I also don't mind that aspect of the job either. Because that is just me, insanely OCD and I know when I get an idea that seems a bit over the top, well, it probably is LOL.
So I'm grateful today is hump day. It means we're at the peak of the week and I can see Friday afternoon from here. Which that in itself is what is getting me through the week. This being the last weekend I will have off for a few weeks, well, voluntarily that is, I will relish in the time off more :) Don't get me wrong, I will have two days off in a row the next few weeks, which I consider my weekends even though they are midweek :) But knowing this is the final weekend before this schedule shift begins makes the time off even sweeter :)
Well I guess I should get off of here and prepare myself for whatever this day brings.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
