Fridays Ramblings

It's been a couple of days since I last wrote anything.  I think that mentally, I am still on vacation.  I have been reading the blogs and learning a great deal from them.  I had some thoughts that needed to be expressed by myself on the wildfires in California.  What a great job the firefighters have done in getting those under control.  I don't pretend to understand the heroism and dedication that it takes to do their job!  

At the same time my heart goes out to those who lost their homes and some who lost their family members, we keep you in our prayers!  Words cannot, in anway make up for your losses, but sometimes they're all that we have to give in heart felt sympathy.  

I can't believe what kind of a fool would go and intentionally start a wild fire.  The type of individual that would do something like that is sicker than I can comprehend.  What ever punishment the courts render, it isn't enough.  

I think I should move to more Real Estate relevent matters.  Yesterday, I awakened feeling really good about myself, life and basically rejouvenated from the short vacation.  Darcy was reading me those horoscopes that they put in almost all of the newspapers around the country.  Her first comment was, "wow, you are only having a 2 star day, I have never seen your horoscope with so few stars."  Needless to say, my day went down hill from there.  

I allowed what was written in that little horoscope ruin my thoughts for the day.  I may not of had a great day, but allowing what was written in the paper ruin my day in most ways, I felt tired, listless, and didn't want to work.  Worse yet, I allowed myself to become irritable and while I tried not to show it, wasn't real thrilled with people yesterday.  I think that Zig Zigler calls it "stinkin thinkin."  

The only good thing was that this morning, as I go through my morning routine, I am able to look back and see what I allowed to happen to me.  I am not saying anything about horoscopes, other than when they aren't great, maybe at least for me, I will not read nor hear them.  Maybe then, I will be strong enough to not allow them to negatively impact me.
