Since I believe in God, I believe that God placed me where I was supposed to be today. God led me to each conversation. I influenced (and hopefully encouraged) others, and others influenced me. This brings peace to me and a smile to my face.

The same goes for fears, and climbing up the hills of life’s challenges.

Do something you enjoy for a few minutes. Here are a few little ideas:
Drink a glass of cold water or warm tea/coffee, taking the time so savor each sip.
Take a minute by yourself and focus on your breathing.
Begin planning your next vacation.
Page through a travel magazine (not online).
Soak in the shower a little longer and let the water rinse away some stress.
Read part of a good book.
Go for a walk.
Get a blank post-it note, index card, or just a small piece paper. Decide on one thing that would help you feel you enjoyed yourself this weekend, then make sure you do that one thing.
Pray, and listen.

But when most people in a workplace are positive most of the time, morale tends to be good. I am blessed to be in a place where that is true. The majority of people seem to get along pretty well with each other, and they appear to get things done. It’s nice to see.
