This week my body is craving rest and relaxations so I am keeping my blog posts short, sweet and focused on laughter, family, and gratitude. For me, that's what this week is all about!
I'll leave the laughter to Maxine today, as noted above. Please also note that, without even ever attempting a Turkey, I have already received this designation. Is this a sign of doubt for my abilities or fear that I would serve a Tofurkey? Should I be angered by the lack of faith or grateful for the lack of responsibility? I like to look at the bright side so I'm going with the latter! ;) Thanks to all those working their butts off for the soda/dinner roll chicks like me!
In addition to all the amazing hosts and hostesses out there I would also like to express my gratitude for the many opportunities I have each day to help people who really need it. Many days I walk out of work stressed to the max. Feeling like my day has been a whirlwind of people asking me to do things ("Morgan, line 1 is holding for you.... Morgan, line three, Morgan line.... wait a minute, do we even have that many lines????") but today I am making a decision to re-frame that thought. Yes, I get a lot of requests. At times it feels like more than I can handle. But most of the time I follow through. When I don't, there's a reason or I apologize honestly and fix it. Maybe that's why so many people ask me to help them, not as a punishment but as a compliment, a way of saying I'm good at what I do. When I got pass the stress and drama that I'd created in my mind and listened a little harder, I heard a lot of really rewarding "Thank yous." I've had the opportunity to be a part of very intimate family moments like illnesses, life transitions, and even losing a loved one. It's actually quite and honor. I am thankful to have the very rewarding opportunity to help others in a tough spot and make a difference each day!
