fuzzzzz

Today one of my clients sent a big bunch of flowers to me at work just to say thanks. The card read “To Emily, thank you for all your hard work! You’re the best! From …” out of nowhere I got this incredible unexpected validation that I am doing something useful which people appreciate. It was one of my most satisfying moments of my professional career thus far and I have been carrying the flowers around the house, room to room so I can look at them wherever I am.
Around Christmas everyone gives out warm fuzzy messages in cards saying how much people mean to them. What I am wondering is why do we wait? Why wait for a special occasion to tell someone they are doing a good job, are a great friend or that you appreciate them. Yesterday was the day to start telling people how special they are, did you? If not its better late than never so get your warm fuzzy face on!

November

The world is spinning, around and around. People are winning they jump from the ground.
I’m still standing, standing tall. Making changes big and small.
My life is simple, not moving fast. Day to day, settled at last.
So I watch others with a smile. Knowing it might be me in a while
But for now I keep my pace, wondering through my life, not entering the race.
