I love this simple photo of a portion of our fridge. It says so much about us as roomies [haha]. I was nudged by my dear Mom to write a new blog entry. She says she doesn't "do facebook" so reading this blog is as close as it gets! Truth is- I've been meaning to write for a while now, but had kind of been avoiding it.
It has almost been 6 whole months ince I moved to Branson and I really can't believe it. With so many changes happening in my life I think, okay, I knpw i went into things naively. I seemed to go into my new promotion OVERLY confident and while I'm doing a fine job I can't help but feel naive for thinking things would work out perfect around every corner.
My entire life things have "worked out" for me but ONLY because I was always willing to work hard for what I believed in. Kind of the "sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same" phenomenon.
Just a few weeks ago I was knee deep in "work to do" and afraid to put on my "work boots." I saw this quote once that said, "Kindness is just love with it's work boots on." I really had to apply that to my work life. I guess what I am getting at is I had to realize, "Hey, things aren't perfect and they probably never will be, so stop getting so frusterated and start being someone YOU would want to work with."
It has really helped improve my mood, attitude and view a lot. I was getting so bogged down in what things "weren't" and how it was "different" than I thought it would be I was probably wasn'ta lot of fun to be around. I can't prove this but since my attitude adjustment I've been getting more creative freedom and it's probably because I am simply easier to work with.
We are all only human, so I still have my moments, however, that doesn't mean I have to focus on every mad moment and let it ruin my day- or run and tell others and let it ruin theri day. The power is in the perspective, how is yours?
What I've found is a little slef evaluation can help quite a bit- I hope this helps you. Whoever YOU are that happens to be reading my blog.
Loyally,
Kristin
