Begin your day on a positive note

Find a few minutes each morning to clear your mind and then think positive thoughts about the upcoming day. Focus on the people and events that bring you joy or a sense of satisfaction. 


What’s your favorite part of the day going to be? Take some time to look forward to everything that you will enjoy. Now carry that feeling with you all day long, even during the less enjoyable activities. Let your optimism flow into your entire day.

Where is Your FB Phone Book?

Facebook automatically creates a phonebook for you, which lists the phone numbers of all of your friends who listed their number on facebook.

Have You Looked at G+ Yet?

Well now that G+ has been around for a couple of months (give or take a week or two…), what do you think? 

I jumped in and set up a G+ account right away just in case it turns out to be a big player in the social media picture, but I’m just too busy to keep up with it….I tend to turn to Face Book first…

And, as usual, if anyone wants a G+ invite, send me a note with your Gmail address.
