A rather hard day today; rumors of more cut backs and restructuring at work so people were edgy and more demanding than usual. Then news that a former colleague is having a very tough time with her chemo. Then news that a friend's father-in-law passed away. It's sometimes a bit of a stretch to keep finding the good things and gratitude on days like today. Harder to do, but more important to find the good things on a bad day, without discounting how the bad stuff makes me, and others, feel.
Three things I thought about to make the bad day better:
-I am alive and healthy, and have been given compassion that I can share with my grieving friend and suffering former colleague.
-Work is work, and everyone reacts differently to change. I can only make decisions about my own actions and reactions. I had the wisdom granted to me today to remember people were reacting to a situation, and not to me personally.
-I thought about how great the weather is, and how sunshine energizes me.
