Today’s SONFEST TRIVIA was song poetry:

I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You’ve been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong…

The song was ‘Next to Me,’ by Jordan Feliz – congratulations to Jenn of Newark – she guessed correctly and wins 2 tickets to Saturday’s concert!

Choose to Be Happy at Work

Happiness is mostly a choice. You can choose to be happy at work. It sounds simple, but it’s often difficult to put into action. We all wish to have the best employer in the world, but, let’s face it, we may not.

So, think positively about your work. Dwell on the aspects that you enjoy about work, and avoid negative people and gossip. Find coworkers you like and spend your time with them. Your choices at work largely define your experience. You can choose to be happy at work.

1 Peter 5:7, NLT Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Tonight
Mostly clear, with a low around 51 and breezy
Tomorrow 
Mostly sunny, with a high near 77.
Tomorrow Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 52.
Wednesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 80 with a breezy
