Today was a horrible day.. and I could go in to great detail as to how the day started off and problem after problem seemed to just bring me further down..

But I'm not going to tell you about all the negative things that happened..

What I'm going to tell you, is that after 3 days of non stop garbage and the morning from hell, all it took was the somewhat positive attitude of another individual that cheered me up..

I had to check out this problem with one of the small demountable offices near a sound stage.. and they had been having troubles with their network connection since they had splitters converting 2 connections into 4..

Browny (the head of the grips for this production) offered me 3x cartons of crownies if I could fix it.. whatever the cost.. he wanted it fixed..

Needless to say I didn't really want the crownies, nor did I get them.. but his happy, joking attitude.. turned my day around..

It helped me get back on the horse.. and fix the problems that I faced..

And by 5 o'clock I was sitting on my mate Warren's couch drinking a Corona (or three) and joking about shit again..

All this reminded me how this year has been all about positive thinking, and how that positive thinking had really made a difference this year..

The business is going well, and now I've met a wonderful girl who I'm dating.. and well, despite all the little issues that keep happening.. things are looking better and better each day..

The clincher of today.. despite the jesting.. when Browny turned to me and said "beautiful day isn't it" and i said "yer but it's cold" and he said "yes but, it's just so pleasant"...

and this reminded me how we can look at everything differently and how easy it is to look at things negatively, when there is such a positive in it..

I get to see Bek tomorrow evening.. it seems like forever.. it was only a few days ago (Tuesday) that I dropped her back at her parents after she'd been at mine for 5 days.. but it seems like a week!

She really is amazing.. so happy and cheery.. and a whole heap crazy.. and oh so talented.. and did I mention beautiful? teehee.. well of course she is ;) I have such high standards.. what more would you expect!

But seriously.. she is.. I feel blessed - which is ironic because up until recently I was convinced I was cursed..

Admiteadly I still seem to be facing a few challenges from her family, which I am so not used to. I've never had a problem getting along with friends and family - yet with Bek the sister hates me and I think this has tainted her fathers impression of me, even though he and I seem to get along quite well..

I'm not going to let this affect how I feel or what I do.. I won't profess to know what the future may bring.. but I'm not letting someone elses opinion of me ruin what has the potential of being something great..

Anyway, dinner is cooked.. I need to get some rest.. up at 5am today and tomorrow I've gotta get Will to help me fix the exhaust on the Supra.. and then go visit Bek :)
