Ruthie's Corner

Working hard and trying to make a living is getting the better of me today. I would much rather be out in the sunshine since it has been so rainy here for the past week. Every time I go to take a break someone calls or a emergency email shows up (thank you technology for informing me on everything that happens.... I need to know that my friend liked a post about potato chips). So I have been stuck working away while looking out the window. Last time I looked it was looking like the storms are rolling back in. Today is one of those days I guess where I am being productive (don't feel like I am) but I really wish I doing something not work related! Oh well.... Back to the grindstone (I hope the cows get out so I can do some outside work!)

Today I had a spare minute, where I was waiting for a call back and had finished some work early. I wrote a letter to a friend, watered the plants, and went out to plant some seeds in a flower garden. Now before I did all this silly work (that is the phrased used in the family) I was on edge something was driving me crazy. I was stressed and mad for no real reason at all. Being out in the fresh air and playing in the dirt made a world of difference. I know it is not really "money making" tasks I did but it was so refreshing to come back and look at the work I needed to do with a clear head and a better attitude. I still have no clue what was so upsetting earlier today but at least it is no longer bothering me and hopefully I will have flowers to look at soon out my window!
