One of my new year's goals this year was to try and stay more positive. I tend to let a lot of people/situations/stupid stuff at work get to me, and then I bring that frustration home and unleash it around here. I hate doing that, so I am trying really hard to improve. I'm also trying really hard to let go of things at work and not get so frustrated and people/situations/stupid stuff in the first place.
Today has been a trying day. I actually got really worked up over a couple of things. I actually spouted off to some coworkers about those frustrating things... then I immediately felt horrible for doing so. I don't want that kind of negativity in my life anymore.
So, to restore some balance, I am posting something positive about the day. And right now, the most positive thing I can say is... YAY!!! This day is almost over! :)
EDIT - Barry just took the kids to activities tonight. That really makes me happy!! That is a great positivie to wash away everything else. :)

I think we all have these days, weeks, maybe even months :) I love it when others write daily positive/thankfuls...maybe I should do it! And I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but come to our next RS meeting because that's one of the things we're going to focus on...being 'positive and happy'!!
I know what you mean. That is the exact reason that I quit my job last year. I kept bringing home all this negative "energy" from my bad day(s) at work. It just wasn't worth it. Good luck with your resolution. And for the record, I've always thought of you as a very positive person. :)
I just crumble when Shawn walks in the door and innocently asks how my day was and I UNLEASH the yuck all in one run on sentence. I really want to get to the point that I 'screen' 99.9% of that stuff that aggravates me so. There are people it seems to come naturally to, me not so much, but it sure would be nice and worth working towards. Your work environment has got to be intense most days, can't imagine the degrees of stress you face... I would be exhausted after volunteering just an hour a day at the kids school!
School "politics"...UGH!
Reason #47 why I will no longer be a board member after this year.
Hang in there, friend. As much as they may tend to bring you down, you have the ability to bring them up. Love u!
Ahhh. Kim you are such a trooper. I would have caved to the negative. I love you and you do so many wonderful for all. Hope this day is better.
