Something I feel strongly about {Blog Challenge}

On By mrsjmejonesIn positive thinking1 Comment

Hmm.  I feel strongly about lots of things.  Family stuff, Jesus stuff, economic things, diet issues, and even alpha tests in Marketing.  For the purpose of this blog…….let’s stay light and cheery.

I feel strongly about being positive.  I truly try to see the best in any given situation.  I think it can change the outlook of people around you and turn a situation around.  PLEASE do not mistake this for some “you get the energy back that you send out” type of thing because that is NOT what I am saying (maybe I feel strongly about that too……).  I am just convinced that you seriously can make a situation worse when you expect the worst and complain and whine about it!  I feel so blessed to get up every morning….I try to not complain about aches and pains (except for post-boot camp) and I really do try to focus on the good things.  I try to give others the benefit of the doubt…try to expect that they are trying to help….don’t assume that someone is out to hurt me or get me.  I truly don’t understand the “eeyore” mentality that some people have.  It just gets to me!  Be grateful for what you have!!!

Other than that, I have no opinion on the matter……

Five ways to win my heart {Blog Challenge}

On By mrsjmejonesIn Blogging, love, my heart, trustLeave a comment

It’s funny that this would be the first blog subject…as it’s been a part of a recent conversation between myself and a coworker.  This is easy.

  1. Be nice to me.  Just nice.  Not overly kind or generous, just nice.  I really sincerely appreciate a smile in the morning or a “bless you” when I sneeze.  
  2. Compliment me.  Tell me I’m doing a good job or that my hair looks nice.  I am a sucker for it.  I have always thrived on this…but just recently really realized it.  I always try to do my best..but if I know you are going to TELL ME…..I’ll go the extra mile.
  3. Cook me something I love.  My Mama has this down pat.  She has my heart.  I can probably attribute my borderline diabetes and weight issues to this same line as well.  Hmm. 😉
  4. Be nice to my kids.  A waitress goes very far in my book (meaning: tip) if you speak to my kids. They are human beings and I appreciate when someone goes out of their way to make a big deal of my children.  Because, honestly, they ARE a big deal. 
  5. Be the kind of person to do the right thing.  That’s how Mike Jones did it.  He’s just “that guy”.  He’s the one that friends know they can count on, his Mama knows he loves her and his baby girl just can’t get enough of.  He just exudes this trustworthy personality…because you know he’s just going to always be the kind of guy to make a good choice.  
Reading back over that……………..wow, I am so easy…………..

I really do try to write about things that I want to remember. But I did this ANYWAY. 😉
