I hate change.
Big changes, little changes. Doesn’t matter. I loathe them equally. I eat the
same thing for breakfast and lunch every work day.
Yes, every work
day.
I’d eat the same
thing for dinner too if I could get away with it. I’d wear a uniform as well so
I didn’t have to make outfit decisions, because… well, I hate making outfit
decisions.
I hate wasting
time. I schedule out my day pretty precisely so as to maximize what I can
accomplish. If I can’t climb into bed at night and list the many things I’ve
done that day, I’m not happy.
I hate being
stuck indoors, which is really limited to torrential rain instances. Any other
weather, including blowing, frigid snow, my dog and I are outside loving every
minute of what Mother Nature throws at us.
I hate hating
stuff. Wouldn’t it be awesome if everything we encountered made us happy?
Imagine walking around and saying, “This is great!” to all kinds of things.
Stuck in traffic? “This is great! Now I can rock out to my favorite songs on
the kickin’ sound system in my car.” Tripped in the hallway at work? “This is
great! I just made all my coworkers roll with laughter.” Dropped a glass bottle
onto your sandaled feet in the supermarket? “This is great! Now a super hot EMT
is picking glass out of my toes and commenting on what beautiful feet I have.”
Glass half full,
people. It’s all about perspective. I have to remember this whenever I feel the
hate coming on. Surprises can be good. Change can be for the better. Outfit
decisions can bring about confidence. Wasted time might not be wasted at all—a little
couch-potatoing is good for the soul. Being stuck indoors is the perfect time
to read and write.
There’s no reason to hate. It takes energy to hate. Energy you could be using to love something instead.
Choose love.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy!
