Try a smile once and a while

Happy NY to all! I was all excited about being a new blogger and then it took me weeks to post my 2nd one, so my 2009 resolution is to keep up with my blog at least once a week. Of course there is also the "work out and eat right" resolution...so we'll see if I can break my non-committment to resolutions pattern.

The urge to blog today was promted by a situation at work. I work with many personalities, some I like, some I dislike, some I tolerate. Of course this is a public forum, so I will not comment on anyone in particular. I just find it comical the things in life that get others so worked up or bent out of shape. The drama that can be created over a simple mistake is ridiculous!

I reflect on my own personal situation and I have a A LOT of stuff going on in my world, nothing life ending, but enough to cause the average everyday person a fair amount of stress and heartache at times, but I go along my happy-go-lucky way and deal with it. I always try to present an outward positive image (most of the time). I try to smile and be happy around those surround, not to bring them down even when I may be feeling that way. Some people just have that negative vibe about them, even through emails. I know not everyone can be happy all the time, not even me, but for the love of god - Don't be such a Debbie Downer all the time! Even though you may be miserable in your role at work, or your personal life, try a smile once in a while...it may do you more good than you know!

On a side note: There is one co-worker that I do respect and like a lot, and she may even be reading this blog :) She is someone that, from where I sit, takes a lot of crap on a daily basis but always remains professional and accomodating to the ones complaining. Here is an example of someone that always tries to present a positive image, no matter how frustrated or pissed off she may be! So to you - thank you for who you are & all you do!
