Change the way you feel without running

I found myself getting grumpy that I had to work both jobs today. I am getting a little tired of the roller coaster of emotions that this trip to Costa Rica has brought on. Reality check: I'm upset that I have to work both jobs? I'm tired of the roller coaster of emotions about a trip to Costa Rica? What? And then the 2 X 4 of whoa... I want to change the way I feel?

Tomorrow is my birthday and we could have a pretty gnarly situation on our hands if I don't change my perspective real quick. Gratitude list!!!
