Yes, it does matter what you call things!!! I learned that, big time, as a consultant working on a merger. I spent months referring, often nearly physical, fights over what various widgets in the business were called.
And yes, it IS possible to have a good (or at least a better) day just by deciding to.

Hey Craig !
Only just catching up as I’ve had a crazy few days…. which probably would have left “the old me” a trembling wreck, but “the new me” chose to face each challenge and conquer it. Those challenges most likely sound ridiculous to most people, but to me, they were enormous.
On Friday I had to deal with two round trips to Heidelberg (from Rowville) in peak hour traffic to deliver DH to hospital for a procedure and then unexpectedly collect him again. He was originally supposed to stay overnight. Freeway was fine, but Bulleen Rd, Manningham Rd, Banksia St were like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
Then on Saturday, due to aforementioned procedure, DH was not allowed to drive so I had the privilege of driving to son’s 40th birthday party in Buninyong, going via Carrum Downs to pick up daughter and granddaughter. Approximately a 3 hour trip each way, returning home after midnight. I had been trying to find a way out of that one, but at the last minute, something kicked in, and with the aid of aforementioned daughter’s sugarless chewing gum (I NEVER chew gum !!) and a lot of determination, I delivered us all safely to the party and home again.
Yesterday I managed to escape chauffeur duties, but had a busy day nonetheless, and survived the weekend with flying colours ! So, the answer is yes… and yes !!! And as an added bonus, I now have the perfect weapon against drowsiness and loss of concentration while driving…. chewing gum !
