something to dwell on

some thoughts are running through my head at the moment.

i've noticed a trend and a pattern.

on days that I am not at work I usually seem to experience a melancholy spirit.

this may just be the winter blues

(I did order a Vitamin D supplement from my chiropractor a few days ago)

or maybe it's just a coincidence.

...or...

...maybe...

do i actually like my job??

have i been conditioned over the years to have a bad attitude about work,

dwell on the drama, and believe that i'm always stuck with the short end of the stick?

i listened to a tim keller sermon on work where he talked about how work is taking

chaos and making it into something that is a

blessing to others.

so i saw this picture today:

and i thought about how i stand at that handoff plane everyday...

and i share wonderful smiles

and i share genuine conversations

i learn a little bit about our regulars every single day

and then i get to give them their beverage and make their day.

why do i think i'm making their day?

'cause why else would you pay 3 dollars for a beverage... almost every single day? ;)

with all this said

i think sometimes a bad attitude is something that you can learn from your past experiences and your current environment.

and so,

starting today,

i will actively make an effort to change that attitude

and instead

remember that when i see a picture of myself making an iced tea at starbucks,

i remember good times and not bad.
