It is Nice to be Wanted

Not by the FBI, or some other law enforcement organization seeking to liberate you from your freedom.

But by those in power who think you have something to offer...
Who recognize your value and contribution, even when you doubt it for yourself..
What it has done is renewed my vigor in my current position..
Reminded me of my work ethic and what I do well
Reminded me also that what I know of myself is when I face I challenge..something moves inside me to not only meet it,
but surpass it..

I can do anything

So can you...

Thanksgiving Eve

Sitting in my office on this short day (leaving at noon)...hardly able to focus on work.
Feeling the energy of staff who are, like me, ready to go home and enjoy the rest of the week with family and friends...

Feeling some anxiety because I know I have so much to do... projects to attend to... but wanting only to sleep...to relax... to play with my dog... to relish in a bit of leisure..

Alors, it is done... pack up the bag...shut down the computer... Exhale in gratitude..
