So today embarked a journey of a road trip with my mom to St. George. We are here at what I have dubbed "the nicest motel in the whole world"! I have enjoyed spending time with my mamma. With busy schedules and as we grow older it is not very easy to have much time together. I consider myself very blessed to have this time with her.
I have always wondered why St. George was a place "desired" to go when were in high school! We get here, go to the mall, saw polygamists = awesome!!! Go to dinner at Cafe Rio at 5:00, you would think mayhem... but not so much! Then the movie theaters are empty, but that is because they don't have one stadium seated place and they are all crappy movies. I really dont desire to see the fokers, or yogi bear, thanks but I will pass. Also 6:30 and all stores are shut down and people are all at home! No one stays out here! So i guess in Rome you do what the Romans do... Well in St. George you do what St. Georgians do. I am sitting here at 7:00 in pajamas and ready for bed! Not that my life follows any sort of schedule right now, so why not try it!! P.S. watching dirty jobs, could Mike Rowe be any more dreamy?! NO
Todays thought comes from an experience of Hell! As you all know recently I lost my job, and I could not be happier! But I am thankful for the experiences and learned a lot about lies, deceit, morons, and hard work. I would say the job emotionally was very draining. I worked with people that were put in situations and no longer had ultimate control of their lives. Need less to say they had no one to blame but themselves, but they would still try. A small sketch of the job. I worked on loan modifications, 10% of home owners literally had no control and got in a sticky spot with work. 90% of the rest of them, lost their jobs but never stopped spending and ultimately did not use their brains, or think about consequences. So they came to my company for help. Well generally 1 year would not be a long wait for the mortgage company to consider my request. As these home owners became more and more behind and foreclosure ensued... they would try to blame me. I spent 10 months listening to these people yell at me and how foreclosure was my fault because I was taking so long! Ahh mamma mia, are you kidding me?!
Anyways, I have become 100% stress free since leaving that horrible place! It just put a lot of thinking into motion for me. I never thought before this to go through the motions before I became upset or angry. We always get mad at the waitress when our steak is cooked wrong, or we yell at the delivery man when our package is late, I waited 30 minutes for my table and you said it would be 15, hey checker your stupid the candy bar says it's 65cents not $1.25!
Well before this job I would have always been one of those people. Quick to judge and jump to conclusions! But really think.. it generally is never just 1 persons fault. Next time you are feeling frustrated with the process just stop and think. You will usually find it is not the checkers fault that you wait more than 90 days to return your item which is now on clearance. It's also not her fault that Target put that stupid policy into motion. It's not realy Hilary's fault that your mortgage payment is behind, and it is also not her fault that the bank is taking so long to process the request. It is not the waiters fault that the dummy in back couldn't follow her paper and cook your steak well done and sends it out bloody. I feel we would all have a lifted lighter feeling if we could all take a deep breath and settle down! Don't be so excited to jump down someone's throat if you have not gone through the sequence of events. It usually takes more than 1 to create a problem. Just keep that in mind next time and I think you will be able to stay calm a little better.
Tomorrow is the hump day and I hope you all can get through it!
Stand a little taller
