Indulgence

On my way back from a meeting this morning I decided to skip the LRT ride and enjoy a gingerly walk on a brisk morning. The wind was blowing, people were bustling and I spotted a Second Cup! What the hell, a little indulgence is a good way of celebrating your life and it eats up time that you'd waste at work! Win-win situation.

In the last couple of days, I've had some revelations. I recognize that just because someone has pissed me off doesn't mean that anyone else deserves to experience the mood that person put me in, they deserve my best smile and a friendly attitude. Save the 'pissy-ness' for that first person.

I also discovered it feels good to smile, even when stuff is weighing on my mind, if I smile somehow my mood magically lightens even just a little bit.

It makes me smile when I sing in my car...doesn't matter if I can't sing cuz Kevin can't either! Ha ha ha! But seriously, I sing for me...if I thought I could sing I would've auditioned for Canadian Idol by now...thank you God for letting me recognize the fact that I could probably break glass and will never end up on one of those singing shows thinking I'm awesome when I completely suck!

But what makes me happiest is knowing that I treat people with respect. Funny how someone treating you with the utmost disrespect makes you even more respectful of others...you think they'd steal that from you. That would just be sad...they really are sad.
