Take these five words and scramble the letters around to see how many other POSITIVE words and emotions you can create.

Merry Christmas

Ever have one of those days, when something seems a bit 'off' but you just can't put your finger on it...

Or it seemed like all the people around you just wanted to butt heads...

Or just get into some kind of weird tug of war? (They're hoping Vick's sentence is in dog years :)

Sometimes you just need to take a fresh new look and get a different perspective on things.

Remember to try your best to show kindness to others...

(sometimes looking at things from their perspective might help....)

So, when life gets you down...

Remember to just keep going, and keep your head above water...

And you'll get by with a little help from your friends!

Sam likes to sleep on the couch when its cold. Can't blame him, the brick floor is cold by morning, even if we had a good fire going in the evening.

I am a lousy fire-starter, but former Boy Scout and his dog make quick work of it. Sam doesn't always want to give up the wood he carries down from the woodpile right away, but will happily trade it for a ball if you ask.

Not the job

Well, the job I have been anxiously waiting to be hired for has gone to someone else. I already cried about it, a couple of weeks ago, so today's news is somewhat anticlimactic. I hadn't really stopped hoping, though, as long as the winter hadn't been announced. Now she has.
So, next stop, I filled out an application for the part-time payroll coordinator. I didn't apply for it in the first place because of it being parttime, but I guess if I could have accepted the clerk'coordinator in Fleet Lease as a parttime job, I can surely accept the payroll job as parttime. It is a long shot, though, as I have no experience at computerized payroll, just many and varied experiences at life. It has been posted for weeks, though, and no one has been hired yet, so I might as well take my chance. Wish me luck.
