I found something I'd lost for a while....My SMILE!!!

I'm back....Finally!  I had such a GREAT day today!  Was so wonderful walking out of the office with a smile on my face, not feeling any stress in my body and so excited about going back tomorrow to see what else I can do and learn!  It's been a long time since I've been in this place! A long time.  I'm really happy to be in this new role and while there is some ambiguity to it, I think it's going to be a fun opportunity to learn a lot in!  I can't wait to implement new ideas and new approaches!  I'm going to enjoy learning from this experience too!

My motto today!  

Smile:  What did I smile about today?
I smiled that I smiled!  It was great to be welcomed back by folks that I've worked with before and feeling truly valued and appreciated.  I had a GREAT day and I'm so happy this evening!

Celebrate:  What did I celebrate today?
I ate good and worked out tonight!  Something I haven't done after work in a LONG time!  I'm getting back on track and hoping to drop a few pounds from all the stress that I've put on over the last few months!

Love:  What do I love?
I have said this before and will say it again...I love reality TV and tonight is so wonderful with the Bachelor AND Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!  Such a great way to spend an evening after a fantastic day!  Train wrecks galore to watch!!
Such great Television!  If you aren't watching you don't know what you are missing!  When I question if I'm sane and in control, I watch one of these shows and feel much better about myself and my sanity!  Wow...these women are pitiful!

Three Words:  I am happy!

Thought for the day:  "Time is inevitably going to pass and one year from today, you can find yourself in the exact same spot you're in now, you can find yourself further away from your goal or you can find yourself closer to your goal - so where do you want to be a year from now?"


Looking forward to tomorrow! 


Cheers! 

Ready for a FRESH Start!

Each year I choose a word of the year to help me identify and bring something new into my life.  This year, I chose "FRESH" or should I say, it chose me.  I'm inviting a fresh new start to this year, eating fresh foods, having fresh ideas, meeting new people, bringing a fresh breath of air to my job and career...FRESH...love this word~!  I'll be able to explore it more though out this year as I partake in Ali Edwards One Little Word Class that Bonnie gave me for Christmas this year.  I can't wait to see how this word cultivates itself in my life...in a positive way!

Side note, last year, my word was STRETCH...I think I went into the year thinking it would be one thing and wow...was I stretched in more ways than I think I ever imagined.  I decided to choose a more positive one that may be a little nicer.  Once again, be careful what you ask the universe for cause it will bring it to you.  I'm trying to put more positive things out there this year--part of my fresh new mindset!

Smile:  What did I smile about?

I smiled as I put my Circa Notebook together to be ready for tomorrow as I begin my new job.  I can't tell you how much this liberated me and really helped to put the past behind so I can move on.  I cleaned out my briefcase of all the papers and big notebook that I've been carrying around for the last several months and got things ready for a new beginning!  I'm so happy to have this new opportunity and in spite of what may come...at least I won't be in the same situation I was.  My stress, my health, my relationships couldn't take it any longer.  So...I'm looking forward to tomorrow and go to bed this evening with a huge smile on my face!

Celebrate:  What do I celebrate?

I celebrate that I am up to date on my Project Life Scrapbook for this year and I celebrate that I'm done with my 2011 Project LIfe scrapbook!  I love this concept and love to keep up with the big and little things that happen throughout the year.  I probably wouldn't have captured half the things I did last year without this project and am so grateful to look through the pages and relive the good and bad times of the year.  I'm so excited that Bonnie is doing with me this year.  I hope she finds it as rewarding as I did this last year!  I love capturing life and all that it is!




Love:  What do I love?
I love my new blue toes!  I spent time with my friend Val today and we got manicures and pedicures together and I got blue polish!  While it's winter and I'm not wearing open toed shoes at least I know my secret underneath the socks!  Such a rebel...lol!

Three words:
BRING IT ON!
I'm ready for tomorrow!
