Attitude

So it has been a hectic day due to work and other obligations.  I'm excited to go to bed in a few when I finish watching the last episode from season two of True Blood (we are working on catching up so we can order season four).  Side note:  I'm worried because they are going to screw up my favorite plot line from the book where Eric loses his memory.  Anyways. 
I have been reading Brene Brown's blog and today's entry really gave me the pick me up I needed. Check it out.  http://www.ordinarycourage.com/my-blog/2012/6/12/defense-against-the-dark-arts.html

Self Improvement

Based on the recommendation of my soon to be former boss (*tear; I miss her already), I'm reading Brene Brown's book "The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are." It is one of my goals to keep improving my teaching and learning something new about psychology.  My boss recommended the book from that perspective as well as a general self improvement perspective.  She said that the book really got her thinking. 

Well, I'm almost done with the book and wow. It really gets me thinking about thing that I could use a change of viewpoint on or anxieties I could let go.  I'm going to finish the book and then I'm going to take some time to do some of my own thinking.  I'm sure that will come up here.
