I think I might have done something else on my list and I didn't even mean to do it! How funny is that?
Last week I went to see a show. Loretta LaRoche is a comedian of sorts who deals with stress and woman's issues. Her new PBS special is called Juicy Living, Juicy Aging. I got free tickets to the taping of the show. Loretta was SO funny. I had a great time and she made some wonderful points.
On the way home, I realized... hey, on my 101 list I put, "Get on TV". Well... the show opens with a shot of the audience, right where I was sitting. Guess I need to wait until August to find out when I am supposed to call in to PBS and make my pledge and get video as my gift! :)
The show was great. Between that and the monthly group I go to, I realized that I really do need to focus more on the positive. It can be really hard, especially at work when I am surrounded by cranky pants ever where I turn. I need to turn to my desk, see the pictures I have on my cube walls of the beach and of the Red Sox and remember I can control how I feel. I don't need to let the nasty-ness of other people control my emotions.
That really is a tough one for me. And where I work, people can be SO nasty.. I don't even know how many people talk about taking their "happy pills". Trust me... I can tell when they don't take them! Today was a good day. I was hiding in my office, barreling through all of my work. I got a crazy amount accomplished. I still have a mound of work to get through... a never ending process for me, but at least I feel like I made a little dent today.
I am looking forward to the meet up group I am going to Wednesday night. It really should be a lot of fun. The people there are so nice. Last month I REALLY enjoyed being there. Then I have another group I am having dinner with Thursday night and brunch on Saturday... a few hours after I have my "bootcamp" Saturday morning! :) Lots going on.
Right now I am having trouble with the "out of my comfort zone" thing. I realized something last week. The more I do outside of my comfort zone, the larger my comfort zone expands to. That makes it even harder to find more to do outside of it!! I don't know what to do this month outside of my comfort zone.
I thought I could go to the restaurant across the street for dinner at a table... one of the other things on the list, but I really want to do that at an outdoor place when it is warm out. I know I need to still go to a movie alone... THAT will be a tough one for me. But I will still do it.
I'm just stuck! What else is outside of my comfort zone right now? What can I do this month? I did SO many things in February and March... I did 2 in January. April?? NOTHING. I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I need to come up with a list of more ideas! Challenging!!! OH well. I'll figure something out. I am going to have to ask around for some ideas of crazy out of the box things I can do. :)
