you control your attitude, no one else does. you can choose to allow others to impact your attitude, or not. stress is self-imposed.
I agree. Except for those people that have horrible things going on in life, we can choose to be grumpy or not. You pick out your clothes every day, and you pick your attitude too. I try to remember that I'm alive, I'm healthy, I have a great wife, and I have a job. I don't sweat the small stuff.

"...no matter what you do there will always be some people that will not be happy." sprinkle liberally with "not my circus...not my monkees" and you've got my mantra. ::struts around)) That's right...I'm my own Monkee. Today was a no good horrible bad day. And I let it get to me. And this just made me smile so very much!!! Thank you.

I was fighting a bad mood this mornign when the manchild got to stay home and I had to come in to work. Then I kicked myself in the rear and reminded myself that I get to work in the small town where I live AND it's harvest days...that means a funnel cake stand right outside the bank! WOO HOO!

Happiness is a choice! It's just that sometimes the choice is where, exactly, to hide the bodies.

We don't need someone's approval to be happy. Our happiness is our choice. Now smile, laugh, relax, breathe, forgive & enjoy this life.
A longtime friend sent this to me this morning to get my day started and I am going to make it a great day.

Wow - I started this thread but needed Sun Shine Lady this morning to remind me - again. My 'New Attitude' didn't last very long.

Thanks for posting this Sun Shine Lady! After the tongue lashing I got last night at my booster meeting, I really needed this.

I used to be the same and am so much better now. I only "flash" if my department is being criticized. I still have trouble with that one. Usually I'm the one that says "Is this the worst thing that can happen to you today"? or "If this is the worst thing that does happen to you today then it's a good day" or "Will it be important 12 months from now? Will you remember this?".
Stems from losing a loved one unexpectedly. That's the big one and the rest is "Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff".

I would have loved to, but I handled myself with the utmost professionalism. It ended up being only 3 parents who had the beef and criticized me in front of 50 other people. So I handled it like I would in a meeting at work. Gave the facts, and stated flatly that I have a job I get paid for and would be more than happy to hand over my duties.
I felt horrible, but it all works out in the end. I've gotten about 10 text and Facebook messages from the "spectators" telling me how much I am appreciated, that I'm doing a good job, and that they support and agree with me. And both band directors are on my side.

Whaaat no spreadsheet in 4 colors followed up by a bar graph and a pie chart followed by a 97 page summary?
That will teach them to question your authority.

That will teach them to question your authority. I did have a spreadsheet, but no graphs or summary. And I was totally prepared to quote the by-laws. I chose to be the bigger person.....this time.
