After It's Over

I had to catch myself today at work. I caught myself slipping into a bad mood. Saturday's are always busy, and there were a lot of associates working. I know I need to work on this, but I have a really hard time working with lots of other associates. Even when I like them as people. Competition, I guess. I don't like competing with them for customers, feeling like they're getting in my way, etc. I know it's an issue I need to get over. And I did. I still had a great day (sales and otherwise). We work on commission now, so the pressure to do well can get to be too much sometimes. If I wasn't so good at what I do, I'd quit and find something else...

I think I might be trying to get sick. About an hour ago my throat started getting sore and my nose is draining. It's just not going to happen. I refuse to be sick! I don't have a day off until Wednesday, and even then I have a doctor's appointment. There's no time to be sick. I hope my daily smoothies, vegan diet, and overall healthy lifestyle combats it... and tea. Lots of tea!

There was a lovely lesson today in The Book of Awakening. I'm on the 14th of February, which is Valentine's Day. The lesson was about love at first sight. What I took away from the message was that love at first sight isn't about the first time you see someone. It's about really seeing them for the first time. The real person. And it isn't just about people. Really, anything in life. The things we see day in and day out are all worthy of love and appreciation. I wish I had taken a moment to really appreciate something I take for granted on a regular basis. I was busy today, and not as present as I would have liked to have been. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day, I will try again.

After work, I stopped by Central Market to grab some things for dinner. Snookums liked my vegan bean dip so much last night, he asked for it again tonight. I ran into one of my coworkers in the parking lot (we have a lot in common, and I like her very much). Shopping with her was probably the closest I've gotten to any kind of socialization in a long time. It was fun! She needed to buy her mom a birthday gift, and grab some groceries, I got dinner stuff. Central Market is full of fun things to look at, smell, touch. We had a good time together. I always avoid social situations, but this wasn't planned. It was just a pleasant surprise. As I have vowed before, I need to work on being more outgoing. Human interaction has never been my thing, and yet I realize that I enjoy it after it's over.
