Coincidence?

After my first night of blogging I feel like a changed man. I tend to have a problem with thoughts stampeding my brain, and earlier that day I was driving home from work thinking about the world when I realized that life is only as good as you want to make it. For example, I'd normally let household responsibilities take a back seat to the rest of my daily schedule, then get frustrated that my home looks like a dump. I would let house frustration build on top of work frustration on top of I don't know where I'm at in my life frustration. Not very healthy. So I decided to be proactive, and positive. Instead of focusing on what was frustrating me when I got home, I took steps to clean up the house and to think about my life in terms of what I have that is good, instead of the bad. It may have been a small step towards proactivity (and my wife will probably agree) but I think it helped. I felt happier than I have in a long time. Then I started to write about it in a blog, which helped get more brain stampeders out. Then this morning I received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview. Coincidence? Probably. But, maybe trying to act and think more positively about life helped other good things happen to me. Who knows? I'm not sure where this will take me, but so far blogging has proven to be intensely interesting.
