Although we’re all a little anxious in these unsettling times, our values will always remain at our core and guide us through!
I am focusing on gratitude, you know, the things we sometimes take for granted and only with reflection, realize just how lucky we are.
This morning, while getting ready for the day, I couldn’t stop making my gratitude list in my head. It started simple; I am thankful for our health, this delicious Nespresso coffee, my extensive wardrobe from lulu, my husband that wakes up happy, my daughters’ phone call to tell me she misses us so much that it hurts, the sunshine (yesterday was brutal), a roof over my head,…I got to my office and replied to emails, voicemails, text messages and it started again! I think the universe was telling me to WRITE IT DOWN… SAY IT OUT LOUD! So, my gratitude list continues.
Our employees who are giving everything they’ve got to be productive for us at home. Many of you can relate… when your energy level has depleted to 20% from being spread so thin, you’re hoping that someone else in your home can make up the 80%
My banker and accountant and have provided guidance to stretch our money and be sure our employees receive their full paychecks. Their teams were grinding it out on a Saturday to make our promise work!
All of the Outdoor Family Rooms I’ve gotten to build over the past 22 years that are now providing a wonderful STAYcation to our family of clients… and for our new 2020 projects. We send our gratitude to all :)
My dear friend and client who made masks for our entire team. She found herself with an abundance of time, an enormous amount of fabric (she’s an amazing quilter) and the desire to help others.
and… the clients that have taken the time to give us early warning during this crisis and all of the business and support you’ve gifted to us! Many of you have kept us healthy over the years… removing a piece of metal from my eye on their kitchen table so I could still see and keep moving through my daily schedule, giving Ron knee surgery advice to avoid complications longterm, and quite literally, diagnosing a blood clot in Randy’s leg over a cell phone call!
The 4-minutes of straight laughter yesterday when I watched the Bill Connolly - Colonoscopy video: https://vimeo.com/24340828 (you may not find this as funny as I did if you’re not at “that age”) Try to laugh today! It’s good for the soul :D
There is so much more! I just can’t take more of your precious time when you are trying to stay on top of your daily tasks! If I can just ask you to reflect, for just a moment on the things you are grateful for. And just maybe, you’ll be amazed at your list too!
Be well and take care of each other, Michelle
P.S. Just one more chuckle to share
