Trip to the vet


Today I had to take my dog Montana to the vet. At first, he was happy and excited to get out of the house and easily jumped into the car. Once at the vets,Montana became very suspicious and began to pace in a panic. The kind mannered vet approached Montana using her softest baby voice, but Montana wasn't buying it. As soon as I placed the muzzle on Montana's face....the drama began. Luckily, the doctor was quick and professional,making the visit as uneventful as possible.
As Montana and I were waiting by the register,a fellow animal lover approached Montana with her own dog. I was busy paying for the visit not realizing what was going on behind me. I was shocked to see Montana nose to nose with another dog. My heart skipped a beat,knowing Montana's past history with other dog's. If I were to react to the situation, Montana would have lunged at the unsuspecting friendly dog,so I froze...standing completely still,I waited to see the result of this meeting. As soon as Montana's back hair began to rise and the warning sound of a growl emerged...we quickly separated the dogs. Thankfully no one was hurt, but to those of you pet owners out there who have well behaved dogs...FYI...not all dogs get along at first sight...so please don't assume that your pet will be welcomed by every dog. Ask the owner first, thank you.

It's my business


In today's economy,people are more nervous about how they are going to pay the bills. Then to add insult to injury,hard working Americans are informed that the company they dedicated their lives too are closing their doors and moving to another state,leaving their faithful employees to fend for themselves.
At this point,the frantic blue collars are forced to make one of three choices...1.collect unemployment/go back to school 2. Apply for a lesser paying job or 3. Start a business.
Granted,there may be a chosen few who will land on their feet quickly and find a great opportunity. But for the most part,most Americans will fall under these three categories. So which do you do? I chose to start my own business.
Why wait for another dead end job to choose me out of a thousand applicants. Only to treat me like a piece of machinery without a life.
I would rather call the shots in how much I make per year and when I can take a vacation day, without fear of a write up.
Sink or swim...I choose to fight for my own happiness.

Sudden changes


A coworker/friend and now roommate of mine,recently went through a bad breakup. I tried to explain to my roommate that "Things happen for a reason, and that life will get better."
For several days afterwards,I would patiently listen to my roommates complaints about the breakup, which would repeatedly turn into a roller coaster of emotions...finally ending with a sigh of relief and a thank you. He started working out and dieting with a vengeance and caring more about his appearance. As his confidence returned, I noticed him smiling and laughing a bit more often as he began to go out on dates. It was good to see him back to his old self again...I hope he walks away from this experience a bit stronger and hopefully a bit wiser.
"Life has a way of working itself out."

Busy busy busy


After working a full twelve hour shift last night,my only thought was to get home,take a quick shower and just relax. Once I got comfortable on the couch,Terry informed me of several business meetings we had in just a few hours. I decided to take a quick nap,so I would be more alert for our appointments...but instead it made me feel more sleepy. I kept yawning through the meeting and forcing my eyes to focus. Thankfully the meetings went well and our clients were pleased with our work.
The moment I got back home,I threw myself on the couch and fell asleep for most of the day. I love sleep.

Jackpot


Everyday on the way to work,I stop at a local convenience store to buy a lottery ticket in hopes of winning the "Big"one. I rarely choose my own numbers...I like the easy picks. To increase my chances of winning,I carry around a small rock that I found as lucky charm...and every time that I reach in my pocket,the lucky charm reminds me of my goal of winning the lottery. I then begin to imagine all the things I will buy as if I all ready won. Some call this the "Law of attraction".
