Wins All Day

When you talk about raising your vibration, it is really simply about feeling good about yourself and the stuff you do. Which is why I am now focused on stacking wins all day long. And so today I had it in my mind that a win is to do well at the QueensCare Board Meeting where I'm supposed to present on Risk Assessments. The whole thing should last no more than 5 minutes if that. But to do well means to win the perception that I know what I'm doing and that I am extremely competent.  And before all that, it is Picture Day at Mar Vista today and of course I want to make sure Johnnie looks picture good. I spent extra time making sure his hair was just right this morning. And with the shirt and tie he actually looks very VERY handsome! How about that. My kid is actually good looking! Getting him to this point is already a WIN. And of course I got a kick out of the other kids all dressed nice for picture day. I posted a pic of Brooklyn too. Next to each other it's like the yuppie and the hippie Bohemian girl. I would so laugh if that's the way it ends up being in the future LOL LOL. I hope Johnnie ends up at least keeping the hair-do until his picture gets taken. And then of course later on this afternoon is his first basketball session at STAR NOVA. He had been looking forward to that all week. And now he gets to play basketball with his jeans on because I forgot to pack some shorts in his bag. Oh well... After the school drop off I focused on the Board Meeting. I mean it's not something to be taken for granted. And so even if I just had a few slides I had to make sure they were at least professional and that it tells the story that I want to tell. Fortunately since I only did have a few slides, it took all of 10 minutes to spruce it up and get it ready to go. The meeting was not until after lunch and so I had time to make myself some pasta and sweet Italian sausage. Hey I'm not going hungry just because I had a presentation. And so my turn didn't come until well into the meeting. As in it started at 1 PM and I didn't go on until it was almost 2:30. Until then the takeaway was that QueensCare is doing very VERY well because of its investments. Heck, they're in the stock market aren't they? It's funny about this dichotomy I work in. At QueensCare Health Center Board Meetings, its mostly about scarce resources, making do with what we have, doing the best we can with said resources. QueensCare Board Meetings talk about what to do with the excess. I mean it does have almost $490M. Let me wrap my head around that. I actually work for a half a billion dollar corporation! How did I manage that right? Anyway I did my 5-minute schpeel on cybersecurity and then I was done. I thought I did just fine actually. That's a WIN. And although it was only 3 PM, I considered myself shut down workwise too. I parked on the couch and watched Y- the last Man on Hulu LOL. And then I picked up Johnnie. I was just as excited to hear about his day as he was. Photo day went well. Basketball went well! WIN WIN! Off we went to Sawtelle Panda Express. Got a parking spot immediately. Another WIN. Got me an old standby - rice and chicken with green beans. Healthy dinner. Another WIN. I made Johnnie do his page on what he liked about today and it was all about basketball. He learned the rules, the sideline, the paint, all the mechanics and logistics of the sport. Here I was focusing on just dribbling LOL. Who knew that after all the spaghetti we threw at the wall, the one that stuck would be basketball? I would have never thunk it. Of course it IS early. I mean after all a year ago, he was learning computer programming for the first time and he was working on swim strokes and I introduced him to Master Kelly's karate class. Still, even if it doesn't stick, at least it's all about experiences... something I was never exposed to growing up. He can pick and choose as much or as little as he likes. And so it was that I got my WINS where I wanted them today. And I even got to bed early. As in 9:30 AM early. I hadn't had good sleep in a few days. Rest is always good.
