Me: A Procrastinator?

Hello Sweet Friends

Thank you for sharing your time with me

If you have read my blog

For any amount of time

You have seen me acknowledge many times

That I LOVE MY JOB

And that is the truth

"Variety is the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor."

from William Cowper's poem, "The Task" (1785)

Variety: It's why I love my job

However,

There is 1 task that I avoid and truly struggle to complete

Fortunately, I only have to tackle it once per year

I do procrastinate when it comes to this task

In fact, today was the day to complete it

And in the process

I realized that I avoided it all together last year

Storage

Packing up and hauling last years important papers

Down to the unit

Everything must come out

Be rearranged to put the new stuff in the back

So the older boxes can be hauled back to the office

For shredding

It's complete

For another year

And I'm thankful

My back believes I'm getting to old for this job

Hmmm...

Heating pad or ice tonight???

And

Although I'm quite tired

My nephew was playing his first ever

Baseball playoff game

So...

Of course Auntie had to go watch him hit

And catch

Or

Maybe watch the ball slide right between his legs

*wink*

A good and productive day

How has your week been going

I'd love to share in your joys

And accomplishments

Or pray for your needs

Blessings to you

Another Year

Hello Sweet Friends

And Thank You for stopping by today

Sitting in my living room this evening

Watching the trees sway in the breeze outside

It has been such a beautiful day here

In the desert southwest

Playing outside with my littlest K today

What a treat and blessing Thursday's have become

Yesterday was Administrative Professional's Day

Our office changed it up several years ago

For us it was Staff Appreciation Day

Over the past few years

I have taken this opportunity to create a

Little something for each of our employees

I Love sharing 'happies' with our staff

Shopping at Hobby Lobby

Is Never a Chore

Neither is playing at my dining room table

Straws, paperclips, and other fun items

Are simple to put together

And always help me create

A fun gift to give

This year

A Bouquet of 'restaurant' Gift Cards

Adding a few breakfast items

Makes for a fun little Thank You

My employer also tries to make it a special day for me as well

And I'm grateful

Red Roses and the most fragrant Lilies ever

Yes My Friends

Another Year

Another Staff Appreciation Day

Another Blessing

Praying for you

Believing for Great Blessings

In Your Life

How has God spoken to you this week?

7 Years of Learning and Joy

When I received a phone call to help a friend
Clean a few file cabinets I never dreamed it would
Turn into a full-time learning experience

Though I had a wealth of administrative experience
I had No healthcare experience
But a friend put her trust in her gut
And offered me a position I just couldn't pass up

On February 26, 2007
A friend became an employer
And an even greater friend than ever imagined

My job today still includes some file cleaning
But also includes the wearing of Hats
I'd never imagined I would ever wear

And even a Tiara every now and again

I have the joy of working with an amazing staff

Who have walked some tough times with me

As I've learned and grown

Grieved and found joy again

With this friend/employer

I've painted

Both walls and canvas'

I've watcher my grand-girlies

Be taken care of and loved

 

She (my friend/employer)

Has remembered dates that nobody wants to face

 

We have shopped together

In our Jammies and in the middle of the night

 

 

We had braces on at the same time :)

 

Enjoyed Christmas parties together 

With our awesome staff

Yes, in our jammies again

And even weathered some powerful storms together

Through it all

I would not trade a moment of it

For any other job on this earth

My friend/employer

My sister in Christ

You have blessed my life

And I am SO grateful 

These 7 years later

That you trusted your gut

And had me clean out your file cabinet 

Here's to Many more cabinets and years of Learning and JOY
