The Good Ol' Days

I really do miss the days of loving my job. Working on the weekends is no fun, especially since I was not planning on working. I guess this too shall pass. I can only hope to have another job that I truly enjoy. Until then, I need to trudge through the rat race and try to keep my head above water.

Just another Manic Monday...

I have spent the good part of this morning and part of last night feeling sorry for myself because no one really cares about how I am doing. They just want to ask politely how you are doing and they expect to hear the normal answers. Anything outside the normal is something they do not want to hear. But somewhere during the drive back from lunch and walking back to my desk I realized something. It isn’t that no one cares; it is just that the majority of my time is spent with coworkers and they are the ones that really do not care. Your family and really good friends do care about your well being. Unfortunately most people do not get to see them most days (unless of course you work with your family).

I guess that is my one small revelation for the day. Time to get back to the grind. Perhaps with this new insight I will let up on myself and enjoy the day for what it is.

My own worst enemy

Yes, your words should help motivate me to get to work and help me be a better person, but I am too busy beating myself up over my poor performance to really listen to the words. Yes, I am stuck in a rut and need to find a way to get out, but I rarely put myself first.

If only I would give myself the time to nurture myself.

Back to the grind...

Need look around a bit

Life is what you make of it. What more can I say? There have been a lot of thoughts going through my head of late, but I really just need to take a step back and be grateful. In the grand scheme of things, life is good. Yes, I am working a lot, but I am healthy, not deeply in debt, and overall things have been good. Sometimes I just need to take a deep look around to really appreciate the great life I have.

If I would only give myself more time...

I finally sat in front the computer for a couple of hours with the task of designing a web page. Granted, I had purchased the domain name in December, but was frustrated getting 1 page set up. Then I realized, I really was not giving myself the time to do the task. Instead I would sit down and get frustrated withing 30 minutes of using a completely new software with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE designing a web page. No wonder the experience was crazy-frustrating!

I hope I remember this experience - put the time into the things I want to be doing instead of wasting it doing things of little value to me personally.

Happy Sunday!

Photo of the Week

One resolution that I have not been following is to keep a camera with me everywhere I go. You never know when you might see some thing nice like this.

Enjoy!

Better Late than Never

I had grand plans for the new year, but life has a way of keeping me busy. Or perhaps I do not put the fun things first in my life. Either way, it is time to step it up and start focusing on things that are important to me.

One of those important things is health - so I shall close and get some sleep as I am starting the week out with a late night due to surfing. Since I have not had home access to the internet for over a week, I had to catch up on some of my favorite blogs, read the news and surf for a few new things. Plus I had hoped to order a few calendars and moving cards, but that took a back seat.

Happy Mid-February everyone!
