Customer Service, pretty flat walls, and a big Wow!

Tomorrow, 3/25, I’ll experience these wonderful things:

#1. I’ll have an easy time with Home Depot’s customer service department and I’ll get the new floor and dryer fixed with little problem.

This is hard for me because:

I just know they’ll tell me I did something wrong and caused all the problems, even though I know for sure that’s not true. My inner parent can be very hard on me.

THEREFORE I’m going to imagine this:

The person at Home Depot’s service counter smiles at me and tells me, “This happens all the time and it will be my pleasure to see that everything gets fixed quickly and free. Then both you and I will be very happy!”

Does the thought of this make me feel happy? Yes!!!!!

I’ll let you know what happens.


#2. I’ll finish painting the upstairs, which isn’t even very big, but the ceilings are high.

This is hard for me because:

Painting flat walls bores the heck out of me and I can always think of something far more exciting to do. Then I end up hating the unpainted wall, and myself for leaving it that way. This is not good for my happiness or my health!

THEREFORE I’m going to imagine this:

Being done and happy with the way it looks, AND looking at the clock and seeing that I got it done in half the time I thought it would take me. Including the clean up! So then I can play around with stuff that doesn’t bore me, like writing and watching a design program on tv. I love that. Playing without feeling guilt! (Did I mention I’m a Capricorn??)

Does that make me feel happy? YES it does!

I’ll let you know what happens.


#3. I learn that my friend, Person A, is having an easy time with a mutual project.

This is hard for me because:

I think the project is too hard and involved and will always create struggles for those involved. (Sorry I can’t tell you who it is. My friends’ privacy is really important!!!)

THEREFORE I’m going to imagine this:

Person A doesn’t call me at all with suffering and consternation. Instead, the next day, I get an email or a phone call from Person A who says, “Well, I think that turned out great! The things I couldn’t figure out just sort of came to me, and the answers were always there, and my computer cooperated, and wow, what’s the big deal!”

Does this make me happy? You bet!

I’ll let you know what happens!

Note: It's always great to create good for others!!!! When they're happy, you're probably happy too!!!!
