HAVE A BACK UP PLAN

Hi again - Tonight will be short and sweet. It is important to have a back-up plan and be flexible. Today was a day that I needed that advice. Today was the kind of day that was written about in the children's book "The very bad, no good,terrible day." But it is ok.
I know that tomorrow will be extra special because of it.
I did accomplish a few goals and I celebrated them. I read some positive blogs and articles and made a very difficult phone call which was a accomplishment.
Pay Pal messed me up with something and instead of loosing it I was calm and collected. This is a good lesson for life - be calm. When you get upset over things that you have no control over you never can win. So I was cal and then envisioned a solution. Computer glitches happen and this one could have cost me an awful lot had I not caught it. My classes today were fair and one in particular drove me bananas. I kept cool though and was flexible enough to change my lesson agenda/plan. This is how life works sometimes. One of my favorite sayings is "You plan and plan, and GD laughs." How true. The good thing was that no administrator came in to see that I was not doing my original lesson plan from my planbook. I needed to improvise and go with the flow of this particular class. Another life lesson...be flexible and change when necessary. When I got home I was greeted (or in this case, not greeted) by a sick dog. The poor guy. I put on my nurse's hat and calmed and cuddled him with TLC (only pet owners would understand this...that a dog is a person). As I type, those two big brown eyes are looking up at me and his head is on my lap (I am sitting on the bed to be near him). This is yet another lesson in life...appreciate your health and take the time to care for others. We all need caring and TLC at times. No one is an island. Then dinner did not exactly turn out as I would have hoped, but my children (young men) smiled and ate (actually one went out with friends after - probably to eat). Yes another life lesson...follow a proven recipe and don't make up your own thing. When something works go with it. So I will do the same in turn keying things that work. Then the PayPal mix-up got me frazzled but I ended up laughing at the craziness of the mix-up. Someone was trigger happy when they deleted the amount from my account and bank THREE TIMES. How good it was that I loooked over my account. It did not pay to get mad - I gave myself a few seconds to be frazzled and then took it into my own hands. All in all, it was a good day. I am alive. I am in my home. I am enjoying life. Today some things went wrong, but all really is right. Keep a positive attitude on life and positive things will come your way. I rambled on a bit, but this is what a blog is about. Enjoy! Tomorrow will be a Terrific Tuesday!
