It's a two-quote morning!
One:
"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again." - Og Mandino
A beautiful way to be, but pretty hard to. Like which driver do you let in on the road? What if the person behind you is also going to die and you're taking up their time? Okay, okay, I do really get the real point and I think it's great. I'm pretty selfish sometimes, so it'd be good for me to remove some self-focus and try to make even more focus have a beautiful day, this day.
Two:
"Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance." - Oprah.
That's right, I quoted Oprah. :) It's a new day. Too bad my office made that whole shoes rule. But, there's later and there's always dancing to be had!

One of the things i realized with Dal last night is that music normally cheers me...so not having the radio in a car is a major bad-mood-enhancer. My office has too much phone talking for radio (even for me with headphones 'cause I'm answering the phone a lot). I wasn't home enough to kick on some music there. I need to find music. Okay, I really need to get my radio fixed in the car.
I ironed this morning. I thought it should be marked on a calendar somehwere for my boss. My hair, however, is pulled up a little messy-like. I have on my favoritest good-will shoes. I'll be kicking them off later for the dancing.
I start dog (Carole) sitting tonight and I'm looking forward to some good walks in the morning and at night. She's a good cuddly & kissy dog, which is something I need now.
I know part of my mood is sadness that I won't be home this week/weekend. I want to have Thanksgiving with MY family. I want to get up early Friday and go shopping with my mom (as it is, I have no girlfriends who will be in town Friday to go shopping). I want to go to Shelby & Katie's 2nd birthday party. I want to just be in Arkansas and go to Sonic and get a cherry diet coke. I want to hear from my family directly what they want from Christmas. I want to hold some cousin in my lap and know that I'm missing them, but I'm still existing to them as they grow up. I don't want to wait a whole additional month until I see all those folks. Bah...
