Very Happy it is the weekend and I do not have to work
for 3 days!!! This last week was hard to get through!!!
We have had snowstorm after snowstorm in Toronto
where I live. The zipper in one of the boots I like to wear
broke and I started to wear shoes at the beginning of the week.
Thank Goodness I saw reason and started to wear some
other boots I have, they helped me travel throughout the
week!!! 
Relationships with others.
I have had a better week with the people in my life!!! I think
it is because I re instated the process of slowing down my
thinking, interpreting and reacting to people and situations.
This process real helps a lot because when I pause even
for 5 secs (perferablly 10 secs or more) between the time
someone says something to me or a situation happens that
usual gets a rise out of me and the time I react to what
was done or said I have a chance to re interpret things in a more
neutral or positive light. Then I have a chance to control the way I
react maybe not such a negative way.
Using this process when relating to people this week has resulted in
more positive encounters and many more of self restraint of my words
and more encounters of live and let live.
Let's see if I can keep it up!!!

Excellent! Your technique applies to all situations in life, and with everyone you encounter, especially in the business world. Keep it up, Ida. You\'re doing great! Wishing you a really good weekend. Oli
We have had quite a bit of rain, snow, and sleet here in New England lately. I wore two different pairs of boots when I was out shoveling a couple of days ago and they are still soaking wet on the inside. I have resorted to wearing an old pair of sneakers for now. That is a great technique you are using-I should remember that, too pause a bit before reacting to what someone has said to me. Happy weekend to you!:0)
Sounds like a great technique you\'ve got that\'s working well for you. Well done!! I hope next week is easier for you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :-) x
Good for you x
