Yesterday was a yucky day, but today is a new one
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. ~Jim Rohn
Yesterday was one of those days that the 9 to 5 worked on me instead of me working on it. I got short with my co-workers. I cursed under my breath...I cursed out loud. I am not proud of yesterday. I am not proud of myself. Any good thing I did or knew went right out the window with my growing annoyance with my job and the surrounding people. It took all of my willpower to keep me from walking out the door and telling everyone to kiss my "rear."
I won't go into details, but I am trying really hard to make today a good day and work harder on myself than I do on that job that I intend to be done with in less than 2 years!
Something GREAT!
So, how to make a better day today?
Well, I received an e-mail from Amazon today that told me I have "officially" been accepted as an associate! That's great news! On October 11 I had written a post about the "dreaded letter from Amazon telling me that if I didn't make some sales, I was out.

But then, today, I was blessed with the news that I was accepted as an associate! Onward and upward!
Something EVEN BETTER!
Can anything be better than that? Well, yeah!
I had more of my diabetes website content indexed and I have a ton of ideas for my site. I have a ton of ideas for my grandparents site, too. I just need about 5 extra hours in my day!
Even better still is that my blood sugar tests have been consistently better. I did have a low one—49—the other night, but since then I have been in the normal range most of the day! That's a first in a very long time (years, in fact).
Plus, I have coffee! Now honestly, can anything really be any better?
Best wishes,
Karin :)

The good days make up for the bad days, nice to hear your over the bad day, with Xmas festiveness on the horizon it should make for a better time ahead.
Yes. That's the good thing about learning how to see the silver lining in things...my bad moods/days seldom last long!
Best wishes,

I think we all have those bad days, and when we get through them and come out the other side, I believe it strengthens us. When you can look forward to a good day, you are freeing yourself from the trap the bad day tries to lead you into. You are doing well.
Glad things are going well! Keep up your amazing work and encouragement of others!
Best wishes,

I get the yucky day!!! It's just my husband, I and the computer when my son's at school. He's wondering about money here at the end of the year (he's a farmer).And thinks what I'm doing won't make money. Well it isn't yet. I keep moving forward, but it's taken this anti-social media brain longer to learn. We haven't even put up Christmas decorations, yet. I can't get in the Christmas mood. I just feel YUCK. Sorry to vent my problems to you. I don't get an out very often because I'm physically handicapped. You get different people to help you. I keep thinking tomorrow is going to be better to, but I wake up with the same problems on my website. I'm trying to get it fixed.
Basically, I think we're both entitled to YUCK every now and then! I think we're both getting back to life knowing we are the ones in control of our lives!
:) We will get our better days! Better Wishes to you!

I grew up on a farm, Susan, so I totally get the worry about money! I heard it for years from my parents. In fact, they keep pestering me about this whole "website nonsense" because even though I am now 53 and they haven't been on the farm for years, they still have that mentality that this stuff won't work!
No problem telling me what's going on with you. I am always open to "listening" through this forum! :) If I can help with anything, please let me know.
I wish you the very best as you work on your site. And no problem. Vent any time! :)
Best wishes,

Nothing better than coffee for sure Karin! Sorry you had a rough day but we definitely have those speed bumps occasionally. Glad to see that you are doing better today.And awesome news on your levels!!
Yes. I was very happy to see yesterday be over! I should have had some coffee before bed! LOL That would have made things better!
Have a great day!
Best wishes,

Hi Karin, yes health is always a challenge in our home. I'm glad you are regaining control of your problem. I wish you more blessings of control in the future. Try not to overwork yourself!
Sometimes I sit and write content for hours on end, then I wonder where the time went! I always battle to have better control of runaway time.
Happy blessings,
Ruben
Thanks for your thoughts, Ruben! Runaway time can be a big problem, but at least you are getting your content written! That's a big plus!

Good job on the blood sugar, and i can relate to the work issues. I just go to my car and curse in thier or walk around the block and do it then.
Good luck on the two year plan and congrats on the Amazon accomplishment.
Thanks! It hasn't been easy with the blood sugar... I've had so many ups and down. I think that might have been part of the problem yesterday, trying to adjust to the better levels!
Best wishes,
Karin :)
Well done Karin and yes be proud of yourself.
Also great saying from Jim Rohn
Here is another great saying from DR Wayne Dwyer
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
Enjoy a wonderful day as today is a new page so make it a great story
Andre
Thanks, Andre! I love Dwyer's quote, too! I may have to post that one by my desk at the 9 to 5!
Hope you enjoy your day, as well! I'm writing a better story today!
Best wishes,
Karin :)
That is a great idea I have that written down too but also made it a habit to remember the saying.
Soon I will head off to sleep nearly 2 am Wednesday morning but will certainly wake up refreshed and ready for a new chapter then.
Enjoy your day
Andre

Glad your day changed to a more promising one. Karin I just wrote an article on Diabetes 2, it still has to be approved by Google. I just hope I am not getting too personal I read the fury you un-leashed at work yesterday. What type do you have 1 or 2. I would like you to read my article but at the same time I do not want to bend any WA rules.
I have type 2.
Michael, if you want to send your website in a PM, I am fine with that. I would like to see what your thoughts are. Thanks!
Best wishes,
Karin :)
Thanks for sharing, Michael!
