Nancy Negativity

My first goal of the school year... to not let "Nancy Negativity" creep in! I'm so curious if teachers are the only ones who actually enjoy being negative about things, or if that's just common in the workplace.

Ok. If you're going to be a teacher-just be prepared to endure in-services and staff development days that are NOT fun. Get over it. Do something funny during it or make jokes about it. BUT PEOPLE, to be so negative and nag nag nag all the time is draining! Who wants to be like that?!

Friday I held my tongue royally and chose to just sit there in silence and not cave to the negative peer pressure around me. Is being positive a fruit of the spirit, because it should be! So this is my goal to continue through... all the griping and fussing about people not doing stuff right gets so old. Either suck it up and deal with it... or just go fix it yourself. =)

Ahhh. I feel much better now. From "Patty Positive."

How true! And I think that this could be carried over into all of our different jobs in life. A positive attitude benefits everyone!
