I Love You!

I started this dreary, gray day by nearly falling out of bed. Don't ask me why-I didn't drink too much last night. When the alarm went off, however, I caught myself in mid-air right before crashing to the floor. Oh, well, that tiny mishap wouldn't shape my day.

Head for the coffee pot! Coffee always makes everything better first thing in the morning. I lift the pot to pour my first cup, and there's nothing there! Seems that although I prepared it the night before, no one bothered to turn it on this morning. Okay-I can wait ten minutes while it brews...

As I indicated, it's a rainy day, and I have to drive to my part time job in the rain this morning. This shouldn't be such a big deal. However, my little car, good as she is, tends to slip and slide on wet pavement. Alright-work isn't that far and I can take a less traveled route so my seriously reduced speed won't bother other drivers.

I'm now at work. Thank goodness the boss has the coffee ready when I get there. I love this job. Only three mornings a week, and I'm really over qualified for it. It's fulfilling for me because I'm rendering a service for people who I love. One priority I've been working on is a newsletter. I've done newsletters before. This should be a breeze... WRONG! I've worked for over a week to get a small newsletter out, and nothing I do works. Before I know it I've spent nearly the entire morning trying to figure out a program and I'm no closer to getting the newsletter out.

Time for a break. One at a time all the mishaps are nothing, but this computer problem is really working against my self-esteem. Let me check Facebook and see what's going on. A friend has shared a video, and I think I'll take time to watch it. It's probably uplifting music that will calm my mind and lift my spirit. I'm not really paying much attention-there is no music. But after about a minute into the video, I realize I'm smiling. I'm smiling and I can't help myself! The video consists of nothing more than different people saying "I love you." On the face, this isn't a great production. However, that simple video-those simple words from so many people I've never met-lifted me up and changed what was before a very trying day.

I love you! Namaste!
