being awesome every day!

So you may think this is a bit of a funny title and I guess it is - but lately my husband and I have been kidding around and saying things like, “It’s my day to be AWESOME and I am going to do _____ for you!” You can fill in the blank with just about anything. 

The other night it had been a long day and he stopped at the grocery store for me on his way home from being out. I was tired and he knew it. It made my day that he was so thoughtful. And the next day he said, with the playfulness of a little boy, “I was awesome yesterday and I pretty much nailed it!” It was cute and sweet and loving and it made me feel all happy inside. 

Today I told him I had a lot to do and told him I was going to be AWESOME by driving our high school girl to school for him, it was his day to drive. I got home and found out that both office assistants were sick today, so my work load that was already heaping high on my desk had just increased but a whole bunch of additional stuff. (Not my hoop business - it is the family IT recruiting business www.teambradley.com) And I had hoop stuff to do too! Regardless, I announced, “Guess what, I am still gonna be AWESOME today!”

Being AWESOME over the last week has taken busy days that are sometimes stressful and made them less stressful, and more playful. 

Jokingly, as the puppy nosed my sneakers to take her out to play after a late dinner, I told Rich, “Honey I am not sure how much longer I can be AWESOME today. I think I am running out of AWESOME!” And we both chuckled and returned to our overloaded desks. 

It’s funny - maybe declaring you are going to be AWESOME is just the ticket for making tough days flow with some ease and allows you to lighten the mood.
