TGIF






It has been a LONG, HOT, HUMID week here in Texas. When we walked into our building on Monday the AC was out. Warm air was blowing from the wall air conditioners.

I called our contact to let him know the AC was out and he said he would report it but wanted me to know that the contractor had 7 days to respond and that was to
an emergency.
By the end of the day my clothes were

damp.

I was

exhausted

and

sweaty.

I felt

deflated.

On Tuesday I went to a daylong seminar on Enhanced Performance. I kept thinking
(viagra)
or something like that which would make me laugh to myself.

But it was about

MENTAL SKILLS FOUNDATIONS
FIVE ESSENTIAL SKILLS:

1. BUILDING CONFIDENCE
2. GOAL SETTING
3. ATTENTION CONTROL
4. ENERGY MANAGEMENT
5. INTEGRATING IMAGERY

It was really well presented, with helpful information, exercises and useful for anyone.

I have been recommending it all week. It is really about attitude and when it gets down to it:

ATTITUDE IS ALL WE CAN CONTROL!!!!!!

Wednesday I reported back to the hot building. It was still hot. I called the contact and
blah blah blah.


I felt angry and frustrated by the end of the day.

Thursday - no AC

By this morning, it was tough to get myself "motivated" but I put on linen slacks, and a non-clingy shirt - thinking of the coolest items to wear.

As soon as we got out of the car, we were moved to another building.

The building has AC that works!! What a miracle.
.

The good part of the week is that I am in a great exercise routine (every night one hour)
and eating healthy with lots of good protein and veggies.
and a glass of wine :-)

These photos of my little darlings (that are sprinkled throughout this post) were sent to me this week and they make me smile
and

smile

and

smile!
