2 - Excited!

A day of organizing and planning, listing and preparing.  I give myself one day for this ... and I will add to it, but the basic outline for my plan of attack is done.  Now, to put into action.

There were times when it was difficult to stay forward-focused and not go back and re-hash what happened and why it happened and try to figure out what I did wrong.  On the one hand, yes, I would like to know ... but you know what?  I know things that I could have done differently.  (That is becoming a list as well.) And as far as I know, there is nothing that made them point the finger at me, other than I was in the wrong position at the wrong time.  Like the quote says - I cannot control what happens to me, especially in a circumstance like this; but I can control my attitude and where I put my focus.  Interesting how my brother and I are going through similar life-(but not) changing moments.  That tells me that it's not isolated to me and that as I watch him pull himself together and fix his focus on what is important, I know I can do that, too. 

Gratitude Moments for Today: 
1/ I'm grateful for the people reached out to check in on me today.  I have good people in my life!
2/ I'm grateful for the large list I have of people to contact!  It's awesome to think that in there, somewhere, might be my next job!
3/ I'm grateful for taking the time to set up my new Tassimo (from RA for Christmas) ... there will never be the 'right time' to make the switch, so I did some shuffling around and made that day today.  Now, I can have a cup of coffee when I want, and not make a full pot and throw half of it out!
4/ I'm grateful for being able to pay off my dentist bill.  I need to spend some time with my finances and make sure I don't short myself, but I also need to keep my bills payed off.
5/ I'm grateful for taking some time to do a bit of cleaning today ... I always feel better, stronger and more positive when my place is more clean than cluttered!
