Gratitudinizing

I have been interested in positive psychology lately. Shawn Achor maintains that there are five simple things to do to improve one's happiness quotient, 1) Write three things you are grateful for every day, 2) Write and describe in detail one positive experience every day, 3) Meditation, 4) Do a random act of kindness, and 5) Exercise.

This is April 28, 2011. Today I am grateful for Shanone, who rode to Idaho with me to visit our mothers last weekend. We had such a wonderful time soaking at Lava Hot Springs, eating and talking. I am also grateful that she is on my team at work and that Sheila and Jessica, who are also on the team, are on the team. Also, I am glad that I am at two beautiful, new school, where I have very nice offices and bright surroundings.

Something good that happened today: Miss Obrey stopped me in the hall to give me a "hall referral" and I asked her to email me so I wouldn't forget. When I took her the Permission for Counselling, she said, "Thanks, you are awesome." Also when I told KP that we had a parent meeting set up for Monday for an at-risk student, he said, "Perfect." Made me feel good. I enjoy working for him.
