Change of Attitude

I have been outside most of the day enjoying the sunshine. The weather was cold this morning, in the 30s but it has warmed up nicely in the 50s. The birds singing really do help with an attitude adjustment. Had some issues earlier and decided the best way to handle them is to walk away. And that is what I did. I will not allow others to steal my joy. Their choice to have a bad attitude, not mine. Nature is therapeutic, I say that all the time to others. So it is time for me to take this advice for myself. I am behind on notifications and I apologize. I will get caught up as time allows. Rant over. (I actually didn't even get started, but that was the plan.) Have a great day everyone! Hope your Monday is going well.

@CarolDM I'm so glad. Letting anyone upset you is stressful and not worth it to your mind and body.

@CarolDM They should be glad to serve you. Do you ever consider talking to their superiors?

Just doctor's office personnel and my insurance company. Everybody I talked to had an attitude. And it just shouldn't be this way.

@SophiaMorros What's the reason? My nemesis is people who talk too much but do not listen.

@TheHorse I had to bring a member of my extended family to the airport in another city. AND had to provide transportation for two of my daughters for school and work. The family member that I delivered to the airport is also someone I find mentally and emotionally draining to spend time with.

@CarolDM Not that, but I was just working on it and I planned to arrange the yard, but it was cold again, so I have to wait

@LowRiderX I know how that goes as well. The yard needs to be cut but it will have to wait.

It's chilly outside, and I can't walk far due to foot issues. Still, I went out and chopped a little wood. That got the pulse up, and it kept me warm while I was outside.

I needed an attitude adjustment, about 4:00P this afternoon(Thurs) Jay came in the room and I needed to walk away. No, it wasn't his fault. I responded wrong, then needed to change directions. He does the same thing at times, so it's just a part of being imperfect people. Five minutes later, things were back on track!
