Art journaling makes any day better!
Ever awake saying, “Do I really gotta do that, today?” I suspect you already understand what I’m talking about—dealing
with those things that aren’t so fun to tackle: the accounting
project that yields nothing but frustration, the not-so-pleasant talk you need to have
with someone else, or the mopping of floors at home—on your day “off.”
Today, I’m headed to Dublin (Ohio—that is) for a day-long
work-related training seminar.
Dublin’s a good two and a half hours from my beloved Bowling Green. As a result, this one promises to be a
long one. And, trust me, the
subject matter for this training...it’s not what I’d call “captivating.” It’s strictly technical stuff
(snooze...). Nevertheless, it’s
vital to the work I do on my job.
That’s okay.
I’m going to balance the not-so-fun with a bit of personal glee
today. Yup, I plan on lunching at
a sweet French bakery/café located in the heart of the quaint little town
where I’m headed. I'm going to take a break
in a charming atmosphere, savor a yummy salad and bring back a to-go cup
o’ java for the afternoon workshop session. That's what I'm going to do, and (as trivial as it might seem) I can't wait!
The simplest way (I've found) to make any day better is to
have at least one, small (and generally simple) thing I can look forward to. Today, I'm looking forward to my lunch break, and, of course, arriving back at home this evening for
pizza, vino sipping and a spot of television watching with Mark (smile).
What’s your simple strategy for a good day? Would love to hear about it!
Joy and peace.
T.
