Wow; some days just present more challenges than others. Today numbers were kicking my butt. I work two days a week as a bookkeeper for a timeshare resort. Today was the day we got to take care of a bunch of end of the month things.  Numbers . . . numbers . . . numbers. Transposing numbers, re-adding numbers, subtracting numbers, multiplying numbers and even on occasion getting the numbers to add up correctly the first time.  I was pretty tough on myself about it. I don't know why, but I was. It felt like it took all day to complete a task that should have only taken an hour (I'm kind of rambling now). 

The point I guess I'm trying to make is that we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves when things don't add up right away.  Some days are just like that and you know what? Tomorrow will be better (Plus, I wont have to touch a calculator).Give yourself a break.  


Quotes

"Hope is like a path in the countryside: originally there was no path - - yet, as people are walking all the time in the same spot, a way appears." ~ Lu Xun

"Be careful with your mouth, but primarily with your mind; do not let evil thoughts start talking to you.  Do not let your mouth say words that could perhaps wound your brother.  Let your mouth put forth words which are fragrant: words of consolation, courage and hope.  It is a person's mouth that reveals his interior, inner man." ~ Elder Ephraim

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth. ~ Bradley Whitford

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King Jr Via ~ Activating Optimism


"Listen now to the gentle whispers of hope." ~Charles D. Brodhead Via ~ EMBRACE POSITIVE PASSION
