Happy Friday y’all! I hope your week has been fantastic and with it finally being the end of the week, you are feeling the best you possibly can. Words cannot even begin to describe how glad I am to have a three day weekend because it is needed for SO many reasons. I think I have already made it perfectly clear how I feel about
my manager, which is not all that great, but I am learning how to deal with him in healthier ways. I am pleasant when I first arrive at work and then only deal with him when it is absolutely necessary. Most things I can actually handle on my own and in a way that makes our residents and prospects feel understood and respected.
When things become unbelievably frustrating, I try my best to laugh it off and talk about happier topics. Sometimes changing the subject will distract people on bad situations. I think having the ability to add optimism to a negative situation will only increase morale and lessen the negative emotions. The residents at the community I work at respect me and know that if they call, email or come into the office, I will take as much time as required to help resolve their troubles.
I have already told y’all that I am THRILLED to have a three-day weekend, but there are still many negative feelings I have bottled up over the past week that I need to let go of. Today is the perfect day for not only myself, but for all of us to start letting go of negative feelings. I honestly believe that holding onto those pessimistic and defeatist thoughts will only hold us back from living that happy life we deserve. The quote I am sharing with y’all today is to help you let go of anything negative you might be feeling and I think it speaks volumes!
I want to thank you for stopping by my site today and to let you know that I always appreciate your continued and valuable communications. Whether it is on the quotes I share three times a week or something else I write about because I believe your thoughts add so much additional meaning!
I hope you have an excellent day and your weekend is filled with whatever brings you the most joy because you deserve it. Do you have any plans or are you just going to be spontaneous? I think part of my much needed long weekend will be enjoying not being awoken with an evil alarm clock and other things that I want to do. Please know that I will always be sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa

LOVE the quotes, and as usual, I’m inspired by how hard you work at getting along with people, especially at work! I just can’t handle the workplace at all, so you’re a constant source of inspiration to me. I think your way of dealing with your manager is brilliant!!
From midnight tonight until midnight at the end of Labor Day Monday, I’ll be participating in the 3-day novel writing contest. (Best novel gets published!) So I’ve got to write a novel in three days!! Woo hoo!! (As for alarm clocks, they’ll be turned off. I write better on more sleep!) I’m glad you’ll have three much deserved days of rest!!

I am so happy you loved the quotes and even happier to know I can be an inspiration to you. I have found that just getting along with others or at least faking it is easier than being aggravated with those people. I honestly fake liking my manager and he isn’t smart enough to know!
You must be excited about the writing contest. I have no doubt at all you will do great and you will be the best! I can’t imagine writing a novel in just three days, but I know you will do it with grace and brilliance!

I tend to feel that finding the positive in all situations is a lot easier than focusing on the negative. Negative thoughts are draining! When is your birthday? I am hoping we are able to go away for a few days for my birthday at the end of the month. I really hope you get the week off for your birthday!

My day is pretty lazy, actually. I’ve spent a couple of hours now, reading through some blogs and adding blogs to my site reader. Soon I’ll be starting a craft project. My life is all about having a go at everything before deciding I can’t do something. As for the rest of my weekend, it’s spontaneous lol! I hope you’re well. And yes, optimism is always a good thing as far as I’m concerned!

I am so happy you had a lazy day, those are needed from time to time! What craft project will you be doing soon? I love how you live life! Go before deciding you can’t, but I bet that doesn’t happen often. You are kidding, your birthday is September 30th? My birthday is Sept 30th as well! Libra girls are the best, right!?

I started painting. I like painting little boxes and other similar things. I’ll be doing a collage too. My birthday is in August. As for having a go at everything in life, well it depends. I just take every day as it comes. I enjoy life as much as I can. At the moment I’m waiting for a report from a service provider so I can submit it to a Government agency so they can update my current disability plan properly. That way I can go out more often. I’m all about getting out and about. But I do agree, laziness can be a good thing at times!

I bet painting can be calming and relaxing! I think taking things one day at a time is best. Do you live in the states? Government agencies can be difficult, but I hope everything things work out for the best for you! We all need lazy days or we might go crazy or at least I know I will!
