Today was super busy at work. My co-worker was out and it was crazy! President Obama was speaking in the Roth Center at Fairleigh Dickenson College in Hackensack to endorse Governor Corzine's campaign to re-up. We got out a half hour early so that we could beat the grid lock it would cause. I felt like I literally ran a marathon today.
One very nice thing happened. The new boy who is my sons age joined our lunch hour. One of the girls inquired as to what was happening with my books. To make a long story short he and his mother work as 'event planners.' He is sure that he has connections that will help me market my book when it comes out and offered to do so. I'm so excited I could bust!
I had forgotten to eat breakfast so I had the snack, which was grapes at around 9am when I realized I was starving and why. At 11 am I had one of those weight watcher's chocolate one point cakes to off set my hunger. For lunch I had left over chicken and green beans- yes, I made enough for an army. I had no 3pm snack, but had wheat noodles n sauce for dinner.
After that I spoke to my young PA BFF via face book. We planned on talking as soon as I got in tonight. I've text her twice though and so I assume she forgot or some cute boy whisked her off somewhere or something along those lines. I'm a little disappointed but of course I totally understand. It's been awhile, but I sincerely remember being 25 once...I think...
I read an interesting article today that I wanted to share with you. Believe it or not it was posted on the 'California Psychics' website. In case I haven't mentioned it before I love the supernatural. Now make no mistake here, I believe in God. I do not practice evil or even think that way. I do like horoscope and fortune telling and things that cannot be explained away by typical explanation. Anyway: I found the article on there. It was titled: '6 Lessons From Failure, Embrace your mistakes' and it was written by Jill Hoppe. Jill says that "It wasn't a mistake- it was a lesson! Learn it well."
There were six parts to it. Lesson #1 was Acceptance. Basically, bad feelings following bad actions make things worse. Lesson #2 was Remember to laugh. That one is pretty self explanatory, if you laugh at yourself it helps your self esteem. Lesson #3 was Get Perspective. It was the longest part of the article. Basically to let yourself know that it's okay to mess up. Lesson #4 was to stay optimistic. Try to maintain a positive outlook. Lesson #5 was Find the silver lining. Look at the bright side. There is one if we look. Lesson #6 was to keep going. I am here to tell you that for me, that is the hardest one sometimes. When we want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over our head- that is exactly when we shouldn't. Jill finished the article saying: "Always remember that every problem contains, hidden within it, an opportunity- and it's up to you to find it!"
I liked the article very much. If you want to read it you can google it. That's how I found it. It's worth the read. I'm going to end right here on that note. It's a good one. See you tomorrow! ;-)
