At my job, we're encouraged to provide bulletin boards with nutritional information on them. A few years ago, I had a bulletin board with lots of pretty nutrition pictures and put up posters and then people complained my office was too "junky."
Since then, I've left the posters up but replaced my board with pictures of my family and friends and happy times. I can't tell you how many times I've looked up at the board and laughed or smiles or almost shed a tear thinking about how great a day was or how much fun an event was or how much I love someone.
When life gets a little stressful at work, I just look at my board and smile. I think it's important to surround yourself with happiness when you're working on your own happiness.
This week has been rough at work. People blaming me for them not being quick enough at their jobs. People blaming me for not doing their job (no lie). People blaming me for starving their babies. It's been a lot of blame and a lot of disconnecting.
But the Board of Smiles has helped. Walking has helped. Swimming has helped. And lastly AwesomeBoss has helped. I saw her tonight and it really made my day. She has no idea how happy I am when I get to see her. (Maybe she does if she reads this post...but if I could work with one person again-it would be her).
