So today I spent the day with my leg up on a box while I worked because my knee is acting up, and then came home to another sort of pain.
After a day at the office often all anyone wants is a hot meal, a hot shower, and some form of entertainment. I decided that the polenta in the fridge would just not satisfy my hunger tonight and I headed to the store after being more short than intended with my significant other. We all have days like this, were the keys get locked in the house as we are walking out to the car, coffee in hand, etc. The list could go on forever. While in the store tonight, riding in one of the electric wheelchairs with the basket on the front I contemplated how to arrive home in a better mood. I came to the conclusion that it is all about choices. If I choose to go home and carry a chip on my shoulder from the agrivation I was feeling all day with a swollen knee, then my attitude will spill over to the people around me. I used to think that this sort of “advice” is the thing that I always thought of as a cop-out. But, I guess in a lot of ways it is true.
So, do unto others as you would have them do unto you…right? Anyway, the week is almost over and I am looking forward to going out with my mentor Liz and my friend Jeanette tomorrow night. TGIF!
