Oh gosh  — 1 week ago

It’s raining and thundering and lightening is occurring. THis is a pretty typical occurrance in central Florida in June. Unfortunately I was so so looking forward to swimming today.
Well, the bright side is that I really am not supposed to be swimming that much per the Medicos, so tomorro at my appointment I can honestly say that I have not been in the pool for a long time. I hope he won’t ask why. It’s pretty hard for me to lie to that guy.

Not sure there is a down side to this  — 7 months ago

My “House Sitter” moved out suddenly, and only told me after she moved. She was upset that she had to pay a bill that she thought wasn’t hers, but she didn’t tell me, she just moved.
I am OVERJOYED. Just today I was wishing I could go back to my house for my “Spot Bot” and a few other things. I am currently only 2 hours away, so it isn’t a big trip at all. Now, when I have long weekends, I can spend them AT HOME.
Next up would be to just hire a house sitter/checker. Always better to keep things professional.

I did however, inform her I’d be happy to send her all the money for whatever Bill it was she thought was a problem. Partly because I am so delighted she isn’t in the house anymore. Frankly, she was constantly having problems with things and since she wans’t paying any rent it was hard for me to feel as committed as a landlord might.
Now I can go home and get my mail and socailize with people I like when I have 3 days in a row off…

brighter  — 1 year ago

Gave myself a serious talking too today.

I’m waaay too grumpy about my leg, it seems to have taken over my personality.
So on the bright side.
I have no need to get up too early, I’ve learnt all sorts of new exersises at the gym and outside of it.

I’ve met a ton of new people (including my handsome physician…)

It isn’t killing me, really.

There are actually other facets to my life/personality (really I swear to it!!!)
Feeling better all the time!

OK need to address  — 2 years ago

the negative thing in my current life. I have injured my leg. It is painful to run, someitmes to walk. It hurts. I changed my shoes, leg still will not cooperate. I amgetting cranky as I am not running.

There is a bright side to this. I’ve been doing Yoga and crunches and pushups and a lot of static type exersises, and I am starting to see some sronger ab muscles showing up. If and when I ever get backto running, I am sure I will be a stronger runner. Theres a silver lining here. I just have to conciously remind myself of it.

It's been 7 weeks  — 2 years ago

since I posted an entry about looking on the bright side. It does seem my enormous Karmic Debt may actually be paid off for the moment. Now, I just have to be sure not to have any more debt issues in the realm of Karma.
In general I feel pretty positive about life, and everything seems to havea bright side lately. but I think this is a good goal to have on-going.

Trying  — 2 years ago

I’m learning it is actually challenging to remain positive aorund overwhelming negativity.
I think actually I’d like to find a way to encourage my current co-workers to try this, since the negativity is spilling over on to the patients. Plus, I’m darned sick of it. But I find it is hard to encourage someone who wants to be miserable to be anything but miserable, but still I try…. :) CHeers all.

The Bright side.  — 2 years ago

I’m doing a contract in a very isolated SOuthern TOwn where there is nothing to do.

But the bright side: The contract work si not too taxing, so I have plenty of time to study for my certification exam, and write letters, and pay bills while I am at work…
Not bad, and I know in 13 weeks I will not have time to sit down again as things move on!

hmmmm  — 2 years ago

I didn’t think would be too hard, but today I am having a difficult time of it. I went to mail my holiday packages. I wanted to use a debit card, but the lady tells me they only take cheques or cash, of which I had neither, so I go driving patiently to the other post office, and lo and behold, the electricity is somehow out and they can not even weigh or process packages. Soooo… I was able to mail one package that I had because I had already put some stamps on it… and I guess I should carry cash on me from now on….

Look on the sunny side  — 2 years ago

Well, in light of the horrid week I started having I decided the best thing was to start conciously “looking on the bright side” I naturally do this, but this week has been awful!!!

1. the post office lost my package of holiday gifts. BRIGHT SIDE: I have time to purchase more gifts and have them sent straight to the recipients…seems more logical anyway, yes.

2. A hugh pickup ran into my teeny car. It’s going to cost a lot ot repair since no one seems to know who’s fault it was… and my insurance is going to go up substantially. BRIGHT SIDE: I have a good job, and I have good insurance. my car can get fixed, AND I DO have enough money to pay the higher insurance rates…even if I would rather do something else. AND I got to meet some cool people at the body shop.

I’m still feeling that deflated feeling of quasi depression, but…I keep trying
