Room to Breathe

Monday morning. I will tell you that my lungs felt like they were being put through a mammogram as I trekked up the steps to my weekday prison, but I've since gotten a grip and realized that the week is not going to be so bad. How am I coping, you ask?

1. I have learned that Emailita is going to be in meetings (ones that do not involve yours truly) all day most days this week. This means no face time and very little email.
2. I only have one meeting on the books this week. Unfortunately, that one is with Emaility, but I won't let it get me down.
3. Sadie has just admitted that she's not perfect; therefore, I feel less pressure to be flawless.
   
4. I have just penciled two lunch dates into my calendar this week so I can catch up on life.
5. Listmaking - Just finished my personal tasks list for the week, and it's not as bad as I thought. In fact, some of it might be a little fun.
6. Finally, I read my daily dose of positive thinking, which stated:

"To keep motivation going strong, begin at once the mental practice of seeing yourself as an altogether new individual--one who is always vital, vigorous, and excited."

Not completely sure I can be quite that chipper, but I'll try.
