The power of pictures

I recently updated the wallpaper on my work machine. It has made a drastic change in my attitude about life and my place in it.

I used to be one of those "whatever came on the machine" people or at most change it to a solid color. The theory being that it is usually covered with open windows or electronic notes on all the crap I should be working on at any given moment. I changed it to a cute pic of my kids several months ago and have changed it a couple of times since then (always pics of the kids though).

When you have had a long day, tired from all the b.s. and ready to quit (forever if not just for the day) it helps to close all your programs and see a beautiful grinning face or faces to remind you why you do what you do. When you get home usually those beautiful faces arn't quite so happy and supportive. It's not the kids fault of course, they are 3 1/2 yrs and 7 months. They are concerned with their own struggles in life.

Enough for now.

Take care, and stay on the rails.
