Attitude is everything.

I can’t say how much my previous post “Listen to your heart and follow your dreams” is true. I decided to be miserable and than decided that I was going to change my mood. I did just that. I want to be happy. I want to smile and mean something. So I started to smile and people have shown that I do mean something.

I stated “actions speak louder than words” in a different post and what I forgot was people also perceive my non-verbal communication more than my verbal. I am sure that lately I put off the vibe of being unhappy, sad, and well I just didn’t want to be bothered. Now if you talked to me I surely said that I was fine and everything was well and that you are not a nuisance—which is true--but my non-verbal communication was telling a different story.

I changed my actions to coincide with my spoken words. I started to act happy and be happy. It seriously made a huge difference.

In fact…on another note…my Magic 8ball was correct again! I received a call from the Family Recovery Unit at the hospital and was offered the job. Bonus—no overnights! I will be working second shift which is going to be slightly difficult but manageable. I will have to work every other weekend and a few nights during the week. Hopefully it all works out and I just don’t fall over from exhaustion.

And heck, how can I not be happy? I have great kids, great friends, and great family.
