Today I received my daily subscription of Mind4Joy: Thoughts on Living with Joy and Purpose in my email. What a good way to start my morning. Today's article is about how you want to be happy and live a positive life. Everyday is a battle. Someone might be fighting a tough one..but there's got to be a minute of our busy and crazy day that we want and will feel better. I started my day playing tracks of Boyce Avenue which I downloaded the night before.. It's my first day of the week and I thought playing some great tracks would set the mood right.  I also took my lunch alone and at an earlier time than usual. I feel better when I spend time alone and just have my time all for myself...so I spent 30 minutes inside the ladies room, with my music on, I decided to do my girl thing there rather than usually doing it at my station. Just enjoying my time alone for a couple of minutes indeed made me feel better today.

Sometimes, because of the overwhelming happenings in our day-to-day life, we tend to forget the value of small things that will make us truly feel better. Just those simple gestures from our co-workers, the simple take-care from our loved ones, the quick "Hi-Hello" from friends and the short and sweet kiss from our special someone is enough to make our day better than yesterday. So go ahead, make someone feel better today. It's never too late.
 
Can you ever predict how you'll feel every single day? Or can you decide how you want to feel today?

how I wish we can.. well maybe other people can.. but Me?? not really sure. 

Today, after sleeping for almost 8 hours, I still woke up with a sleepy head. How can that be?
Usually during my first few hours at work, I'm full of energy and all ready to get busy. But today is different.
When I arrived at my desk, prepared my tools and read a couple of e-mails, I felt my eyes nearly dropped.
I can't be sleepy at this hour of the day! I just started my shift.
While reading my mails, it seems that the letters are scattered everywhere. I can't concentrate and no matter how I keep myself from sleeping- played loud music, talked to my agents, listened to calls, I just can't control my eyes from closing. I just remembered those college days, class after lunch time with a boring subject coducted by a boring teacher and full stomach? Ohh the agony of waiting when the bell would ring.. that could be the longest hour of your college years.

While writing this blog, I'm still feeling sleepy and no matter I convince myself not to feel sleepy.. It absolutely is not working... I guess " Mind over Matter" does not apply to everyone after all.  ZZZzzzzz.....
