Well, after taking four days off, I have to say my first day back at work is not so bad. In fact I'm feeling pretty good about it right now. Of course I was supposed to be back yesterday, but my dog was sick and had to be taken to the vet. Sure, normally, I'd ask someone else to do that, but I was the only person here so it fell to me. He's doing better and I managed to sneak the little guy his meds without him knowing it...score!
The only thing different today is my attitude, and after a few days of introspection and rest I realized that I am merely feeling what I would consider normal reactions to the frustration of having no power over what things happen at the place where I work. I don't agree with everything, I don't like everything but if I want to continue working there my only option is to just try to carry on. I have a right to work wherever I want, but if I choose to stay somewhere then I kind of have to weather the storms of change without complaining too much.
I've also concluded that there are certain elements in my environment that I simply have to endure. I won't elaborate too much. It's more of an issue with the attitude of a single person than anything else. It's amazing how a negative energy can sap your spirit.
But, I can't let that happen. I can't let negativity gain any ground on me as I spent many a year in the past allowing that exact thing to happen. I've got to remind myself from time to time that I need to stay upbeat and not be taken over by all of the negative things I think, hear or feel. It's just not productive.
So, I've had a refresh and I'm back today with a better frame of mind.
I know the future is always changing, so, better to be less like a boat being tossed about on the seas of fate than to simply float along like the stolid iceberg.....haha!
BTW, I'm almost done with the double knit hat. Yea!
