let it begin with me


(((family)))

It works if you work it.  Had that experience at work yesterday.
I manage a small business(store).  The owner is my best friend and was having quite the bad day.  Lots of negative energy in the store.  Lots of negative comments...lots of  what else can go wrong.. I  just kept  saying to myself, easy does it, easy does it.  Didn't want to give away my serenity.  I stayed positive. Taking it one task at a time.  Not looking to tomorrow..staying in the day.
Didn't go down the negative road.   Because we are a small business when one person is in that negative mode, it affects everyone. 
I did manage to keep my peace of mind and enjoy my day.  I think it  helped my employees.  They seemed to stay focused and get done what needed to be done and weren't negative.
I was not in a bad mood by the time I got home.  I actually could say..it was a good day.  I was able to keep my serenity.
Who knows what today will bring...but I am choosing to have a good day..keep my serenity. 
It really does work..it I work it..and I work it because I'm worth it....it's starting to sink in...yeahhhh
Wishing you all a day of serenity :)

your friend in recovery,
rosie

Good for you! Way to work it!  This post made me rethink my day and give myself credit for all of the things I accomplished.  Not the easiest thing to do when you are in a negative space.  Thank you for your post.  It really has helped me.  I was actually surprised at how quickly I thought of the positive accomplishments :)

Love in recovery,
Leetle
