thankful for just about everything thrown my way. i have been reading stories about the "rudeness" of people. road rage, just all around unpleasant behavior and personally, i find the opposite to be happening.

seems to me, more people are smiling, more people are being respectful of your boundaries etc....

hope this is true for all of you as well.

thankful for:

*my good health

*my daughter who is growing up to make a difference

*the last year of my dads life where my eyes were truly open to appreciate his greatness

damn near everything ..... *big smiles

Thankful to work at a company that picks a day (today) to give each employee $50.00. They insist that we go out for a couple hours and buy something for ourselves, then come back and have sandwiches while we "show and tell" what we've bought. We're asked not to spend it on anyone else nor for anything else—just ourselves. One year I bought some pink Converse shoes (they were so cute). Another year I used it toward a subscription to Lumosity. One of my buddies bought a wonder bra one year—that turned some heads.

I won't be able to attend today's festivities because I've got work up to my eyeballs, but I'm really grateful to work here. I work for and with people who care about each other, society, the environment ... they care.

This is one of the many reasons I don't mind coming in early, staying late or working on weekends. Fortunately, I don't have to hustle like this most of the year.

Lucky me.

My "Secret Santa's."

8 people (that I know of) got together and surprised me to tears, at work the other day.

I do believe the person ( who spearheaded the surprise) stole my heart in a really big way.
