Laugh and Be Happy for Increased Job Enjoyment

When it’s your Birthday in our family, you can do and eat anything you want.  So in celebrating my husband’s special day, he immediately requested The Waffle House.  Visions of clogged arteries, expanding waistlines and indigestion quickly filled my head.

Upon arrival to the local Waffle House, we were greeted by a friendly smile and enthusiastic, real welcome. There was one small booth left in the crowded eatery, so we hurriedly took it.  Franny was immediately at our table asking for beverages, and made a pleasant comment about my husbands Tennessee ball cap. And there it started.

Creating Energy for Yourself and Others

I’ve decided to change up the way I gather my energy.  Yes I love my Wii Fit and it gives me my morning kick off of vigor.  But in the last few weeks I’ve decided to put a little spice into my morning routine and I now am running/walking over 3 miles in the morning. (Check out the Sunrise picture and the Self-Portrait.) Then I do my Wii Fit for about 15 minutes. Breaking up your routine pumps up your oomph!

Jury Duty – your personal responsibility!

I made the jury today in Scottsdale and I know this will be shocking – I was the foreman. We found the defendant guilty. My take? Break the law, go to jail. I really felt sorry for this guy but he made a bad choice and got caught. Now he will pay the consequence.

He is now a felon and will pay dearly. Sound familiar? Make bad choices, pay the consequences! You always have three choices. Take it. Leave it. Or change it. How are your choices?

Discombobulation: lightening up helps confusion

The definition of this little used word is “confused.” With so much going on in the world, and work it’s easy to become discombobulated.  The Milwaukee Airport has taken this tongue twister and made clearing security fun. Usually airport security and fun are not used in the same sentence.

After stripping off my shoes, belts and anything metal, tearing the electronics and computer from their well fitting cases, and holding my boarding pass in my teeth,  I was waved through the detector. Then, I drug all my disorganization that had been tossed in the lovely gray plastic bins over to a bench.  Looking up I saw this sign — “Recombobulation Area.”
