My written recommendation for a citation of exemplary work performance for my Chief of Quality Assurance was approved and will be awarded to her next week!! Way to go "Shybaby" woo woo!! What kind of award will she be receiving? When I was a GS with the DoD a Sustained Superior Performance Award could mean 10% of base pay!

Got invited to dinner tomorrow night at our friends' house. Another couple we really like have also been invited. Also means I'll be off my diet for the evening mostly because of the wine.

I stayed outside for hours yesterday....mowing and clean up jobs, getting ready for winter, it was a beautiful day to be outside, I even mowed my granddaughter's yard as they both work and are involved with their kids' activities....a nice day.

Monday I tripped over a clothes rack in the back room of the thrift store where I volunteer twice a week. It is a religious-based thrift store and I, as most of you have read, am not religious. I fell face down onto the floor. Some of the other volunteer women rushed over to help me up and check to see if I was okay. Well, I have a small cut on my nose and my lip is swollen. When I settled down a bit, four women drew me into their circle while one prayed out loud for me. She asked "the lord" to protect me.
In my whole life, nobody had ever prayed like that for me, and I liked it and felt more peaceful. It was a good experience.

I was standing at the bus stop after I'd finished with the gym and began chatting with a lady also standing there whom I'd never seen before. I love this place!

I woke up to another wonderful day! There are many things in our lives that are wonderful to see, feel, touch, taste and experience.
I see life through clear lenses for what it is and not through rose colored spectacles as some wear. I feel life with great emotion which I have to temper a great deal with trying to understand certain situations and instances which arise some of the time. I touch all that I can touch in life that is within my reach. I taste life and all that it has to offer when hungry for the knowledge that it has to impart. I experience life with the vigor and the zest of a child with eyes wide with wonder because to me it is a precious gift to be cherished and nourished and look forward to each and every day for what life has to offer whether it be good or bad.
I am a true optimist in every sense of the word and can find the good in almost anything and everything. I do not care much for pessimistic people as they are only wallowing in their own self pity most of the time and are not happy unless they can bring you down to their level. Even then, they are not happy.
As an optimist, I can sleep well at night knowing that the day was a great day whether it was raining or the sun was shining or a productive one or even if it was just a lazy day to do not much of anything. To me, each and every day is a precious gift that I am thankful to the Lord for and want to see what the next day holds in store for me to experience.
Hopefully the Lord will continue to bless me for many more years and allow me to waken again and again to experience many more days anew with the chance to improve upon the previous ones.

I try to always ignore them because they will bring a person down with their constant complaints. SMILE!
