on a brighter note ...

I know, I know, I was going to avoid the blog for a while.
I just feel bad about all the negative words lately. Very unlike me, actually. It still surprises me (but also thrills me) to hear from others that I am "such a positive person" and that I "brighten up a room just by being in it" (feedback I received at today's team meeting).
I just read this quote, after my last ranting about someone else's space ... and I would rather have this be at the top of the page than my critical thoughts and words. I read it a WHILE back and sort of adopted it as a life philosophy. It still applies, maybe even more now than ever before.
So many changes, so much growth ... so much life around me screaming for me to get off this computer.

"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."
-- George Bernard Shaw
