the six Bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Wait, that's not even talking about that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hey, there's a report out and I love this ranking
states that care the most about our veterans, and as
a military mom, this peaqued my interest that the state
that comes out the most, and they looked at veteran
community support, health and wellness, and veteran employment and finances,
Virginia the most caring state for veterans. Florida comes in
(03:36):
number two, but our own Texas rounds out the top three.

ninety nine point one, we've got Houston's best variety of
(03:59):
the eighties ninety Today I'm Dana with producer Anthony Study says,
we have four bad days a month on average, and
we know by eight thirty six in the morning because
of things that have already happened, Today's going to be
a bad day. Well, that's so defeatist. Whether we run
out a toilet paper, we're upset with the kids, there's
something going on with our spouse, maybe for getting our
(04:21):
wallet or phone at home, over sleeping, we just kind
of throw up our hands and say it's over. Today's
a bad day. But it doesn't need to be that
way at all. So we're coming up with strategies ideas
living through you. If you've figured out a way to
turn a bad day into a great day, and we've
got Diana calling in from the Woodlands, how do you
(04:43):
prevent the inevitable bad day? Diana?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You know what, I just always live in the moment.
I never ever let whatever's happening affect the rest of
my day. So I just stop and I'm like, Okay,
this is where I'm supposed to be at this moment,
on this side of the road. Maybe because I need
to see something or whatever, or I was avoiding something
else that could have been worse than I always look
for the positive.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
That is yes, Diana wood Living.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I am. I work at Exxon Mobile, the headquarters here
in the Whitland, and I'm a data analystic.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
All right, so you've got it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You've got a stressful job. It's important that you're there.
And so maybe maybe it's dealing with stress and everything
that's that's taught you how to be how to use
that wisdom and turn you know, what could be negatives
and defeating situations into positives so you can carry on every.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Day, right, And you know, I see people around me
having bad days from the incident. They get up like, oh,
it's just gonna be a sucky day, and I always don't. No,
it's your decision if it's going to be a suction
day or not. Every moment, I thank you my children.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Do people come to Diana for your therapy? I bet
you're like a therapist at the office.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
A lot of people do come to me for advice
sometimes say how did you learn this?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Do you? Was it a family member maybe, or just
some wisdom that you gathered over the years.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
You know, I'm fifty four years old. I've been through
a lot of stress of my life, and I don't
know how long I've been like this, maybe fifteen years
or so. But it's just so peaceful. I always choose
peace over everything else, and no matter what's happening. If
you can't control it, don't let it control you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They always choose peace. I love that our new motto
here is the really Diana, thank you so much for sharing,
and your workplace is definitely blessed to have you there.
Don't quit.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sit over to West Chase and speak with a middle
schools teacher.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Jeff, how about you being a busy teacher, middle school teacher,
do you ever find that before you even walk into
school your day's ruined?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I would say that I'm actually a very positive and
optimistic person, and I'm a morning person as well, so
I rarely find that my day is ever ruined by
eight thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay, Jeff. We love people like you. Everyone everyone wants
to be like you, an optimistic, mourning person. I don't
know if you were born that way or if life
experience taught you this. How do you think you would
this incredible point in your life.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I think it's a little bit of nature and nurture.
My dad was always a morning person as long as
I remember. I've been getting up at five am at
a paper route when I was younger. Even when I
was in college, I was getting up at five am.
It's always just been.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's so great.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, now it's part of your DNA. Right, So how
do you and I know you teach film class, you're
on the yearbook. How do you encourage your kids because
I'm sure you got a lot of grumpy students in
the morning, right, how do you kind of get them
to turn that frown upside down?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Well? I think it's just you. You model it. You know,
when they come into class, if you're energetic and you're excited,
then they feel that. And so whether they're having a
bad day or something's not going well, when they come
into class, it's hey, this is like a good place
to be.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I like this, but it leading by example, Dan, geez.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Excellent, that's so good. Well I am glad the students
have a guy like you because I remember some grumpy
teachers too, and I I had to cheer the teachers up. Right, Jeff,
you're an inspiration. Thank you man. How did you get
into teaching? Was anyone in your family a teacher?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Actually, no one in my family was a teacher. I
actually went to college to be an engineer, and I
was like, this is super boring, and I started tutoring
some kids, and I really loved that, and I haven't
looked back twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Dmit Yes, you're a great guy, Jeff. I'm so glad
you listened to Sonny for sure.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
