Sunday 11/7/10 Bradford Dam

November 7, 2010

Sunday 11/7/10

Thought I’d get Picture of the Day done now –
that way I can read & relax the rest of the day –
until the Eagles game comes on & HOPEFULLY WIN –
especially b/c I have a dollar bet on the game with sister Pat
& she already won a dollar from me yesterday…..

we discovered Nike Park yesterday & fortunately for me
one of my loyal Picture of the Day readers directed me
to THIS park — which is at the other end of Nike Park –
and allows immediate access to the dam —
versus a 1 1/4 mile walk from Nike.
(thank Bruce!!!)

It was very funny but i was not quick enough with
my camera to capture the moment.

We walked 2 miles but the dogs, no doubt,
did double that!!!  The dogs were tuckered out!!

They both got baths when we got home & now they both smell like

WET DOGS despite me using a yummy smelling shampoo on them.

Ways to Beat Negativity

Tell yourself a positive story.
Life is a story. The story we tell ourselves
and the role we play in that story determines
 the quality and direction of our life.
Instead of a drama or a horror movie,
define your life as an inspirational tale.
Instead of being the victim,
see yourself as a fighter and over-comer.

Replace “have to” with “get to.”
This simple word swap can change your mind-set and your approach
to work and life. It turns a complaining voice to an appreciative voice,
and acknowledges that life is a gift???not an obligation.
So often we grudgingly say things like
“I have to go to this meeting,”
or “I have to make a bunch of phone calls.”
In reality, it???s not about what we have to do.
 It???s about what we get to do.
Research shows that when we practice gratitude,
we get a measurable boost in happiness
that energizes us and enhances our health.

No more complaining.
Abide by the “no complaining” rule.
When you realize you’re about to complain,
replace your thoughts and words with positive actions.
Let your complaints help you identify what you don’t want
so that you can focus on what you do want.
The key is to turn complaints into solutions.
