I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

A Word of Advice...



DAy #133:


Today I noticed bad moods spread like the plague. I also noticed I am not a talker. The old Coach Smith once told me that if you keep your mouth shut and your ears open, you can learn a lot. That was in the highschool relm of course when you are moving from one end of the hall to the other between classes, but it also can and should be applied to everyday life. Of course, I've also been told being quiet makes you appear stuck-up. I don't really believe that - most of the time I just don't have anything to say. I do wish I could relay that to some of the people that call the hotel. Kid you not, I had to listen to a lady for about 20 minutes today. She was, of course, trying to sale something. I don't think she ever took a breath. When I told Studley, our DOS, about her, I told him to go and listen to a jackhammer for an hour and then get back with me. He'd get the same effect. If I'd had the power to buy what she was selling, I wouldn't have done it, just because she wouldn't quit talking. Tomorrow will be better. Happy Cinco de Mayo! :0)
