My Daily Gratitudes: 08/26/2013
I'm grateful that I made some significant progress at work today on a specific project that's due at the end of this week.
I'm grateful that my wife's mood seems better today. She was down; I think she's bouncing back a bit.
I'm grateful for how the school year is going with my daughter so far. I really hope she keeps it up.

Positive Event from the Past 24 Hours:
Just before leaving work, I put in the time to use a small virtual lab that I had for other reasons. I used it to test for our project that's due this weekend. I didn't feel like doing it, but I tried it and it took a lot less time than I expected. That's what good training can do-- something I've been without until recently. I'm glad for the training that my employer provided for me. I can even see myself become more competent . . . and that makes me feel better about myself as a system administrator.

Good Job, Dad . . .
My Daily Gratitudes: 07/17/2013
I'm grateful for the way my son told me, "Good job, Dad" after I finished my workout. I think he could tell I really wanted to be doing something else. But, when he slipped that one in on me, I felt really good. He's watching. I made the right choice and he noticed (and complimented me on it. His manners surprise me sometimes!)
I'm grateful for the time I had to talk with my wife today about making improvements for our lives. We're planning together. I think we're about to shake things up together (in a positive way, that is).
I'm grateful that my after-hours server maintenance completed before midnight. Whether or not it's problem-free depends on when the end-users test it tomorrow. Looks good so far . . .

Positive Event from the past 24 hours:
Today, I could really feel the results of the time management strategies I from the book Time Management for System Administrators. If you're a SysAdmin, you need this book.
