What a Treat!!

What a great way to start the week off.  As I was sitting at my desk doing my work, all of the lights in the building went out and the fire marshal demanded that the company shut down for the day.  So I got off from work almost 2hrs earlier and I have to admit I loved every minute of it.  I can honestly say I can totally get use to working part time.  I mean I loved that I got out dead smack in the middle of the afternoon and had the whole rest of the day to myself to do whatever I wanted. I think that’s the way life is suppose to be.  Working but still having time to yourself to let loose and have fun.  I think that’s what the problem is with people.  Everyone is always stressed out with work and rarely have time for themselves or family. Just think if people were able to seperate work and family people wouldn’t be so hostile or depressed.

When All Else Fails, Take a walk!

Today I woke up in a very foul mood even though I slept well last night. I had this perfect day in my head planned out.  I was going to lay outside in the sun for a while and then just relax for the rest of the day. Unfortunately as it turns out the perfect day I planned was not to be so because I found out that I have to go to the city today for my aunt’s birthday dinner.   I will be the first to admit that I do not like changes or last minute surprises in my weekend schedule as that is my time be myself and recharge my batteries for the upcoming work week.

When I found out that my day was not going to happen I had a mini meltdown and started screaming at any one of my family members who would listen.  This did not help though as I just kept getting angry. I needed to leave the situation I was in and go to compose myself. So what started out as a quick stroll around the block turned into a mile and a half  walk.  There was something about walking alone that cleared my mind and helped me let go of my built up anger and frustration.  I came back happy, refreshed, and was OK with the fact that even though I don’t want to go to family dinner in the city I don’t have the option of declining.

My advice for anyone who is thrown into a similar situation is to just temporarily remove yourself from the environment your in and take time to recompose yourself.  You can go for a walk, or do any favorite activity that helps you to unwind.
