Memorial Day Festival is Canceled? How Is That Possible?

May 20, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

Memorial Day fextival is canceled, but our attitude can still be positive

Canceled implies something was going to happen, but now it is not. For example, “school is canceled because of heavy snow.” This is clear.

My days off for the SMART Conference wrapped around last week’s schedule and so I have worked straight through since last Wednesday. That’s 9 hours+ of actual work, plus almost three hours a day in total commuting time. This is still a bargain compared … [Read more...] about All I need is a couple of days off

with concealed depression, I can conrol my attitude towards each day

Lately, I’ve been feeling like there are not enough hours in the day. Now I understand everyone feels that way sometimes. It is a fact of life that things will pile up, then things will clear. One day we are almost frantic to get things done and the next we are trolling through Pinterest on our phone looking for a recipe for a crock pot breakfast. Why?
