It's been a long time since I've written and I apologize for that. Life has been very busy this spring but it's a good busy....school visits, lots of friendship renewals, new friends and the chance to be on a committee to honor a theatre company that I've been privileged to be a part of for many years.
Lots of random thoughts to share...
1. Teamwork really does work. The committee was made up of 15 strong minded people who alone were quite impressive. But as a team, the result was magical! Who can you find to team up with these challenging days? Not only does the energy rise but so does the productivity...not to mention the level of fun!!
2. Don't have a team? Then decide what it is you really want, focus your energy and work hard to get what you want out of life. I've been watching the bumble bees gather honey off the rhododendron flowers outside my office window. Boy do they work hard!! Sure do inspire me!
3. Live a life that is worth remembering. We in the US just lost one of our much respected political journalists, Tim Russert. Everyone talked about how tough and fair he was as a boss, co-worker, and interviewer. But they talked even more about what a mentor, friend, father and husband he was. He loved his family, loved his job, loved mentoring his co-workers. He knew all their kid's names and never failed to touch base with them all regularly. He leaves a legacy of what a great man, a great human being really is. I've learned a lot that I will try to emulate.
4. Lots of negative news these days. Learn what you need to get through each day but don't let that be all you hear and read. Make sure you fill your tank with gratitude, positive people, and fun too...
