WeekEND Wrap

My grandmother would take lipstick and write SMILE on the bottom of all the mirrors in the house. I was thinking about her this week because it seemed a lot of folks around me were down in the mouth, ie: sad faced. How does the song go, smile though your heart is breaking … sometimes a smile can change your mood - try it.

Had some changes go on at work this week, which is mainly why I had a smile on my face and some people didn’t.  I’m a loner, not attached to a team, at work.  I do for all, but belong to none.  Hate it really, as I’ve grown up in a team work environment.  Its been an adjustment, but one I realized later on was the best knowledge wise.  We had a young gal leave Friday.  She could not adjust to the work we do and had issues with a couple co-workers.   I could say it was because she was young, but actually there are people that have gone running and screaming from our office, not lasting a day.   She lasted a few good months.  Now that left her team one short than they are used to.   But because of economics, they are not going to replace her.   I am going to step up and be their part-time person.  I’m thrilled because it will expand my knowledge base and the team-leader is someone I’d walk over broken glass for.  So I’ve been smiling since I found out and people thought I was just up to something!

Check out the beautiful art here.

…and for those that need to remember, Smile …

Have a great day everyone and smile at someone, even if they don’t smile back.
