Hey, everyone!
Since I took the time to find appropriate quotes for the calendars I put together, I thought I'd share them each week. Yes, I know I'm late this week - I was off work and didn't actually open my calendar until today. (Bad consultant!)
January quote:
12/30-1/5 weekly quote:
Lacy's situation this week with the cruise seems to fit with that second quote. After pushing hard in December to hit the requirement, she realized this morning that she actually hadn't reached it. But rather than dwell on the disappointment, she had a good cry, brushed herself off, and set out to make this year even better. Her happiness is not dependent on earning the cruise - she made a conscious decision to be happy with the journey. And we all know that a journey goes more smoothly with a positive outlook.
Here's to a strong, productive, and positive 2008! Check back on Sunday for next week's quote.
