New Year's Resolutions. Tough aren't they. You have such great hopes for them. On the Eve we all thought of things we wanted to do more of and do less of. I wanted to be more positive and eat less saturated fat (or something like that).
It's not that I am a negative person, but I tend to slip up and start obsessing about the negative aspect of any situation because for some reason it seems to be an easier conversation for me. I need to stop that. Yesterday this was very difficult. We ordered a new dishwasher and thought it would show up at our house installed and ready to go. Well, since Best Buy employees are from another world that does not acknowledge customer service, they delivered the dishwasher and told us we didn't pay extra to have it set up (nice if they had told us of the extra cost).
Delivery men: Where do you want it (the dishwasher)?
Jesse: Where the old dishwasher is?
Delivery men place new dishwasher in front of old dishwasher
Delivery men: Ok, sign here.
Jesse: No, put it in there where the old one is.
Delivery men: We don't do that. You have someone else come and install it and then call us back and we can come and take the old one.
Jesse: WTF!
Something like that. I tried to be positive (because that was my NY's resolution). What I find helpful is to remember how lucky I am to have what I have and to be grateful for everything around me. So with the dishwasher situation I thought, I am lucky I have clean running water at all when so many people in the world do not. I should not take this dishwasher in my living room for granted.
On a serious note, we should all be grateful for what we have this year and to not stress about the petty, annoying, messy conflicts that get in the way of all the positivity in our world.
...and to realize that an extra dishwasher in your living room works well as a end table.
