Positive thinking

I am just having one of those days. It's been my new mantra lately not to complain. Complaining only really makes the problem more apparent to everyone around you. And, it makes you look like a whiner. I have plenty to be thankful for, so I am trying not to focus on the little things. And, typically I think I can control everything, including the little things..well, I can't. And, I need to stop being so hard on myself or I am going to have a full head of white hair instead of just a few. So, here is to hoping that I can remain positive and be thankful for what I have until this rough patch of the end of the school year passes.

The female brain

As I ran 4 miles in the heat today, the conversation in my head went something like this:

"Wow, I didn't realize how hot it was."
"It smells like a ferret out here. I wonder if there is one hiding in the bushes."
"I should have brought some paperwork home for the weekend."
"Man, I am parched."
"Why don't people acknowledge that I am saying hello."
"Why do people spell my name wrong so often?"
"How can the outside smell like a ferret? Am I suffering from heat exhaustion?"
"I wish my shorts weren't so short."
"I wish it was safe to drink out of the creek."
"Can I really beat my time in the triathlon."

And that was only in the first five minutes.
Imagine, if we could organize our brains better! We would rule the world.
