Having a Bad Work Day?  Read This.

[It may look like I've stopped blogging, but in fact I've just been focusing on my other blog (an art blog), which is where much of my interest lies these days.]

Yesterday I suddenly realized I was in a bad mood.  When I thought about it, it came to me that I was cranky because it's been so hot and humid for days now.  I was literally letting the weather rule my life, because I was letting my thoughts about the weather color my mood.

A bit of meditation allowed me to consider how lucky I am to have air conditioning in this heat, and then I began to think about all the other things I have, and all the things so many people do not have.  Synchronistically, I stumbled on this post today, and it really put things in perspective.  You will not hear me complaining (much!) about the heat now.  Yes it's hot and humid, yes, I dislike it, and yes, I still have a wonderful life.

If you are having a hard time at work for whatever reason, consider a quick look at the post I've linked to above.  It's brief, and may just help you to "get a grip" with its wise perspective.

Chill, everyone!
