taking the day in stride

I won't sugar coat it, when work started today it was a pretty bad day. I felt lazy - and I cut corners - and a coworker caught me on it.

I felt like crap - and I tried to just muster the better attitude (though I felt self indulgent) which was to just own the job and do the best I could.  The action lead to making it! Then I said to myself a few times, "So it's just a bad day" so far... but it got better and my mood shifted upward as well.

I came home and I realized to just take the day in stride. I went down to the market. I bought a birthday present gift card for my brother, I bought a Father's Day gift card. I should buy my Stepmom a gift too but she will be in the hospital for the next month, so Mother's Day will come and go. I think I might buy an online animated card and send it to her - so she can see it in the hospital.

So I then withdrew some money and put that into my savings. Bought some chai tea and am now back at the house writing about my day.

Things are pretty good. I feel really grateful for as much as I have in life right now.
