313 / 365: Decision 5


The GPS activity did not go well.
I was cold, then hot, then cold, then hot.
My nose ran the entire morning.
I stepped in dog poop somewhere while fumbling through the above mentioned GPS activity.
Cache #2 disappeared.
Benchmark and Portal issues.
Ended the work day 3 miles from home, but had to drive out to Matoaca (45 minutes round trip) to return JOR's football uniform.

But you what? I'm smiling!!

I think I'm getting better at this decision. I try to look at the bright side of things. Today, the weather was beautiful, I cleaned off my shoes, issues were solved and the uniform is out of our house!

A guest author visited MGR's school yesterday. One of the things she said was, "Before you enter (school or home), wipe your feet of all the 'dirt' so you don't carry it in with you." Amen! MGR and I have decided to try this approach. When work gets "dirty", we'll leave it outside. We'll choose to be happy.

"The Traveler's Gift" is based on seven decisions presented by seven historical figures. The one presenting Decision 5 ("Choosing to be happy")? Anne Frank! I guess if she chose to be happy, I should shut up!

Until next time....smile away!
