"The Grass is Greener on the Other Side"

To which I reply, "No it's not. And if it is, then you need to water your lawn." So what brought this up? I've been asked at work by various employees if I like the job or not. You all know I love it. When I reply yes, I get different responses. Today, I had a girl tell me I won't think that way in a few weeks. I've had another girl tell me her life ambitions and goals (as if I care) and as if she was too good for the job. I told her, "This type of work isn't for everyone. You shouldn't be here if you don't want to be." I had a girl tell me today, "Don't lie." Haha. And I said, "You shouldn't assume I'm lying. Just because you're unhappy with your job, doesn't mean everyone else is." That shut them up!


It doesn't matter where you work. You always have to start from the bottom up. And even if you slide right into a manager position, there's going to be things about the job you like and things about the job you don't like. I have learned that keeping a positive attitude is the key to being happy anywhere. This is why I am so happy now and I take pride in finding joy in the simplest things. I am so happy riding my bike to work with the nice sunny breeze. I get a little exercise in that way and I also go to the gym after work. It's all right here. Today, I stopped at the grocery store and put the items in my backpack. I loved it! The fact that I can ride my bike to my job and have perfect weather all the time is enough to make me ecstatic about life. 


The few miserables at work need to start watering their lawns! They're just letting their grass die. It's up to all of us to make our grass green. Stop looking at that other house and worry about your own. I'm not going to let these miserables bring me down! I feel too good to let their negativity weigh me down. For once, I am on the other end of the stick and I am the positive, happy one, not the negative one. It feels fantastic! All I can do is be an example. I know I'm only in charge of myself. This is why I love writing so much. I can release all my thoughts and emotions here and not dwell on it the next day. :-) I can still smile at the frowny people because I've already let this out. 


And one of my favorite scriptures that I constantly remind myself of that goes so well with this blog:

“Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.”

Philippians 2: 14-16
