Last month I was a catering volunteer on the NSW Big Ride (a 9 day supported camping/cycling holiday). Today I recieved a letter from my team leader.
"Dear Louise,
I would like to thank you for being part of the catering team. It is good as team leader to know that when I ask you to do something I don't ever think of it again.
The team did a great job in often difficult and trying situations, and the camaraderie and good humour was noted by many.
Your commitment and support was much appreciated.
regards,
Faye"
I just had to smile when I read the letter.
I've been a catering volunteer on the event for the past 6 years, and it's nice to know that people appreciate your efforts sometimes.

I smiled (and smiled and SMILED) today because my boss said I don't have to be nice anymore to the major b*tch who has been utterly obsessed with me for TWO years. Boss says I can tell her to "f*ck off"!

I smiled today 'cause I talked to Da Boss & she said I could take a week off to help my daughter move from Minneapolis to Seattle.
Oh boy! I get to drive half-way across the country! With an over-stressed cat! Then drive home by myself!

Wait wait I just thought of something that made me smile! The Silver's made me smile and laugh at my thread about Sand castles. Very funny!

Today I received a silent dog whistle that I had ordered to see if it'll keep those vicious dogs away when I ride. Well, of course, I had to blow it. I didn't hear a sound, but a fellow employee came bustling into the office--he had heard it! His new name is Albert the Dog Boy.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

Smile!
Ok, Mocha totally made me smile, that is too much!!
I had a few things to smile about this week:
1) i received a "motivational" mp3 on not taking criticism to heart. Its based on the book "the four agreements". I sent it to a friend. It so happened, that she has motivational "cards" and she pulls one out every time she is about to see a client. The one she pulled out - The Four Agreements. Talk about synchronicity.
2) Mocha
(ok i had to say that again)
3) getting a lovely email from a client, just after i saw her for the first time. She is so excited to get started and thanked me for her assessment.
Keep Smiling!
