It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas?

October 30, 2011

Don’t stone me, but even though it’s not even Halloween I am about to talk about Christmas. Some of you probably shun all things Christmas until after Thanksgiving but it’s my favorite holiday, I want it to last as long as possible, so as far as my blog is concerned Christmas has arrived! I like almost everything about Christmas including the gifts, shopping, delicious food and cookies, holiday music, lights, and family getting together.

Workplace Happiness

October 23, 2011

Going to work is kind of necessary for most of us.

Usually it’s around 40 hours a week, some more, some less. That’s a huge chunk of time, so it makes sense that how you feel while at work is going to have a big impact on your overall happiness. I’d say the best way to stay happy at work is to love what you do. I’m a registered nurse, and I’m really glad I can say that I do love it. I work in outpatient oncology, and the bulk…
