Post III - Jan 15 2012

So. Today I woke up early for work, which is weird cause usually I wake up late because I just love the snooze button. But not today. I woke up, got dressed, was met by my dad who has been in a much better mood after my sister and I talked to him, I gave him his medicine, we sat and talked about work and then I left to get ready more. I also let my puppy, Tipsy, out, gave him water and then put him back to bed and then left for work. Work was lame but lucrative so I can't hate.

At 6, when I was scheduled to leave, I called the supervisor about that and he asked me to stay til 9:30. I need the money so I said yes. This next part is pretty cool. Earlier in the day, a deaf lady pulled up to me asking directions. I've NEVER had to communicate with a deaf person before and it was such an interesting experience. First off, to be completely blind and/or deaf must suck so much. But! I think the way these people adapt is inspiring. This lady read my lips and I directed her to her final destination. She seemed so grateful that I took the time to explain things for her and it really warmed me inside. So anyway... when I went to dinner (at the BK lounge ;)) I ordered a tendercrisp meal but when I tried to pay with my card but it got declined... So instead I asked for a sandwich and a value drink (free refills baby!) well, the clerk already handed me the medium cup and didn't swap it out. So, I got my drink and waiting for my sandwich. Well, I THINK it was an accident but I'm not so sure, the lady threw in a value fry too. Which was awesome :) So I got a full meal for like...2 bucks cheaper. Karma. Do good things, good things happen.

So... I believe that's mostly all I've got for today... I'm very tired so I know I'm missing things. Oh! One thing before signing off. The 100 Days Positive was an idea brought to me by my friend Zach Neil. And today on Facebook he wrote the following:

"To all of us who are spreading positivity, looking at our lives with optimism, and not hoping for a better existence but instead making a better existence, we will be rewarded! Those who know the world is theirs will have it."

This sums up how I feel. I recently told an upset friend that you can't change the world but you can change how it effects YOU. Things will only upset you if you let them. You NEED to rise above them. I hope she did. I hope you do too. Stay smiling. I think tomorrow I'm going to share a bit of my philosophy with you fine, lovely people. 

Good night!
