Thinking About Optimism

So, it's Sunday and you know what Sunday means...inspirational sermon day.

Those of you who know me well, know that I am very reasonable and moderate with my spiritual beliefs. I enjoy listening to people of various faiths discuss spiritual matters. I typically do not enjoy TV sermons, but Joel is one of the very few that gives meaningful, relevant speeches. I certainly enjoy a good sermon and you can't beat that sense of community and peace you feel after going to services.

This morning I heard Joel Osteen giving a terrific sermon on optimism. It is called "Developing a Habit of Happiness." You can listen to it by going here:

Take care and have a nice rest-of-weekend.

Today's Accomplishments

The things that I will accomplish today:
1. Finish reports and updates for boss.
2. Call old friend who's been MIA for a while.
3. Get some sleep.

Stayed up waaaay too late last night working on some stuff. Got up waaaaay too early this morning to go in early to catch up on stuff. (Last week, I was out for oral surgery--nothing big, just very time consuming). Now, I'm playing catch up. Boo. :( At least I CAN catch up.

Might get my braces off this weekend. Yippee! Will post some pics once they come off. Corn on the cob...well, I could make some comment about it being the first food I eat once the braces go, but truthfully, I figured out how to eat it with braces on. It isn't a pretty site, but it's doable. I guess apples and peaches will be the first thing I eat after these braces come down. Yeah!

Have a good one people.

But not going to the beach till I go for a run, first!
