Many thanks to Sarah for the Sisterhood Award. It's always nice to get a little recognition and I appreciate it very much! Sarah, I do try to have a positive attitude. I'm a fairly upbeat person by nature and that helps. At one time in my life I was really unhappy with my job-I felt stuck in a dead end, low paying, unappreciated, difficult job that just plain sucked. I was complaining about this to a very close friend, really whining about how terrible my job was, and he gave me some advice-he said "you know, you have to work, right? So you can choose to do your job and be miserable and unhappy about it, or you can choose to do your job and be positive about the fact that you have a job and you get paid for it-your choice. Either way, you still have to do your job." That was an epiphany for me-we can't always choose our circumstances, but we can absolutely choose out attitude towards those circumstances. So thank you Sarah!

You have always been so positive and encouraging on your blog and in the comments you leave for me. Too bad we live on different coasts...it would be awesome to go for a run together! :)
Very good point. I work with so many negative people. They continuously complain about their job. I use to be a complainer until I realized that I need to "chill" ALOT and enjoy my job and not let the little things get to me. Ever since then, I've been so much happier. Job didn't change, I did!
Congratulations, Tanya! It's always nicer to look at the water in a glass that is half full rather than look at the air in a glass that is half empty.
Truer words were never spoken, CONGRATULATIONS!!
I'm going to be "freedom 80", so yes, I come in do my job and appreciate the fact I have one!!
