Good Day

Yesterday was a really good day.  If every day was like that, I would be quite content.  I worked with Heather down in Brampton finishing off a clean up and it went really well.  She is so easy to work with and there was no stress involved.

The funny thing about yesterday was that I had been crying on the way to work.  I was about ten minutes a way and my emotions kind of hit me again.  I had got lost on Thursday and had become really frustrated.  I carried that in to Thursday night and Friday morning.  I was half expecting a rain day come Friday and was surprised when it was clear in the morning.  I was thinking that I would have a shitty day and never expected things would turn out the way they did.  I am proud that I pulled myself together to have a positive experience. In the past I might have asked my boss to go home but, I pushed through it. The property we worked on looks sharp and I am sure they will be happy with the work we did.  I know not every day will go that smoothly but, I need to remember the feeling I got at the end of the day yesterday and use it in the future to achieve success.

Just got back from watching the Leafs game with Jodi and my brother Matt at my parents place.  I can say now with absolute certainty that Toronto is now in the play offs for the first time in nine years.  I was actually at game six against the Flyers in 2004 when Roenick put it top shelf in overtime, what a game that was.  I am actually pretty excited about their play off push.  I do not normally watch much hockey but, this will be fun to watch.  Was great to hang out with my brother tonight.  He is an awesome guy and has so much to offer.  I know he has lots of good things ahead of him.  I have missed my parents quite a bit as they have been a way in Cuba.  They will be back in the next few days and it will be great to catch up with them and hear about their trip.

Tomorrow is Sunday which I have typically reserved for worrying and anxiety as you may remember from last weeks post.  I am determined to enjoy the day tomorrow and not think too much about the week ahead.  It is not fair to Jodi for me to be down in the dumps on a day we should be enjoying together.  I have some odds and ends to do around here and some pruning to do at my parents.  I would love to take a chain saw to some of their tree branches but,  I should probably check with my mom first.

Hope this finds you well.  Take care because we care.  Shawn.
