drink plenty of water * worry less * love what you do

i'm about to try and fall asleep in my comfy bed next to my husband
we have the fan going almost full speed, as this is the first evening it's actually felt hot in our house (due to outside weather instead of the furnace!)
i'm updating my ipod so i can listen at work and we're watching an episode of friends
i shouldn't have said i would have to try to fall asleep, truth be told, as soon as i put my head down on the pillow i will be out
we got home so late last night (1 am) and it was back to work first thing this morning!

i went past the hospital to see my grandma after work and she was wearing her dentures!
you can tell it's been a good day when she's wearing her dentures. it takes some getting used to now, but her spirits were very good and her feeding tube is out, so she felt good today.

so now, to catch up on my 'daily inspirations'

drink plenty of water... mmm water. i find there are some times in the day when all i can think about is how good it would feel to chug a giant glass of ice cold well water

when i think of a hot summer day i think of being at home in anola playing in the yard with my brother, and when it was so hot that we would go to the side of the house, turn on the outdoor water tap and drink straight from it... mm refreshment
drinking plenty of water is something i do happily and willingly!

worry less... i don't think worrying is too much of a problem for me. depends on the day i guess. i don't worry as much as i overthink, or is that the same thing? i don't think it is. either way, doing that a little less would be nice!

and love what you do, mm this is a good one
i'm more for loving what you do rather than doing something to please other people
again this weekend i had to stand up for myself and explain yet again why i chose not to pursue music therapy right now. i was even told that i should 'just get a degree' so that i was 'more valuable' to people. interesting. all of that is more important than happiness? not to me

i'm happy in my job right now. there is a lot of admin work, which i find enjoyably repetitive, but to make it even better there are tons of challenges to the job that keep me thinking and working hard. i think that maybe if i was just answering phones it would get overwhelming, but there are always things to figure out and learn.

at the same time, if my contract is done in march (if elenore decides to come back), i think it will be fun to look at my options. i have some ideas in mind, but i'm going to mull them over in my head for awhile. ask if you're interested!

either way, i think it's very important to love what you do. and to just enjoy life! even if i had the worst job, i would still have the rest of the day evening and weekend to love other things that i can do! hopefully this week we will plant some flowers, i would LOVE to do that. :)

stay posted, i'm going to put up some pictures from the weekend tomorrow i think.
