Get Out of Bed On the Wrong Side?

I can't imagine a worse place for an employee to wake up on the wrong side of the bed, than a waitress in a restaurant.  

I like your list of ways to combat that "wrong side of the bed" condition, Kathy, especially that taking yoga breaths.  I've learned it even alleviates headaches.

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Everyday we face some challenges. Never let anybody or anything cloud up your sunshine.

Hi Kathy Streib - I start my day by walking out into my front courtyard or backyard and smelling the fresh crisp pine-scented air. Then I look around at the wildlife, birds and bees and take a moment to thank the universe for another morning! Then I grab COFFEE! LOL!

With 3 sides to exit as long as I can get out of bed they're all on the "right" side.

Kathy, I always try to talk to someone and make them smile if they're crabby. When it comes it wait staff a lot of times they have a story to share for their mood and then it changes. That said, we're all accountable for our mood and being in a bad one doesn't serve anyone well. I like that her co-worker said something to her. 

For me, putting on some upbeat music that I love helps me re-focus and re-work my attitude.

Kathy I don't have a problem with getting up on the wrong side of the bed.  I love to sleep so the challenge is getting up ......  LOL

I admit it...I have a very hard time putting on a happy face if I'm hurt or tired or frustrated about something. I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain.

This week we took Jack and Tom on a road trip in the RV to Santa's Village. Jack (nine years old) fell off the monkey bars and his tooth slammed into his knee. It was bleeding and it swelled up really big. It was just minutes before we were to leave for an entire day at Santa's Village.

I couldn't believe how well he handled it. I iced it and gave him some Tylenol and off we went. He was a real trooper, as his lip grew and started to take over his face as the day went along.

When I told him later how proud I was of him he said "I knew we were going somewhere fun and I didn't want to ruin it for everyone else."

Nine years old. Proud Neena moment.

Morning Kathy.

We've all been there, at this stage in my life there is no stress, or worries.  I always get up on the right side of the bed literally.  My wife has claimed the left side

Thanks for including the links to uplifting alternatives. Happy music always lifts my spirits when I'm glum.

Good morning again Kathy. This is true: too bad. I am having a great day today. I decided.

Hi Kathy,
I'm late checking in but glad I didn't miss this post.  Nobody wants to be around a sourpuss.  Sometimes we just have to suck it up, don't we.  Focusing on others is a great tactic to get out of a funk.
