Giving Thanks – November 12

Today I am giving thanks for employment. This year we’ve moved twice, been through much and repeated upheaval, and each of us have had our own challenges outside of the office. Yet we are an amazing team of women who work well together, hash out problems together, celebrate solutions together, and continue to enjoy each other after several years and many changes.

We also have a variety of activities at work and never know what question will be facing us next, which offers the variety I seek in a workplace. Although some questions stump me, I can turn to my office colleagues. If we don’t find the answer, I can reach out to our State of Michigan network. If that doesn’t pan out, I can then reach out nationally. By then, someone somewhere usually has the answer. Granted, the answer might not be what we’d hoped for, but the facts have been culled out.

May you know and achieve a workplace that brings you joy and fulfillment. I know it’s easier said than done, which makes me extra thankful and grateful for this gift at this time.

But…

My brother pulled over to talk to me. His two dogs were in the car. The brown dog was sitting in the middle and the black dog had the window. The brown dog has been with us for over 10 years. He feels he owns the joint. He also feels the window is his.

After a while, we heard a “thump”. When we looked back at the truck, the brown dog had the window and the black dog was climbing back up on the seat.

As I walked over to take a photo of the dog’s adventures, the brown dog gave me this sad, apologetic look. He knew that it wasn’t typical behavior to push someone over, even another dog. But can’t you just see in those eyes that he NEEDED the window seat? Thank goodness dogs tend to be quick to forgive!

Moral of the Story: Sometimes when we reach for what we want, we knock people over. Think twice about your actions and your words. I know I need to do this more often.
