WORK & PLAY

So I kind of messed up again yesterday and did not get a chance to write anything.
Work has been really crazy busy the past couple of weeks. While I LOVE my job and I LOVE working sometimes it does get to be a little too much.  I often wonder if I am ever going to get caught up at work and just when I think I am another "project" comes my way or someone goes on vacation and I have to cover for them  But with that being said it feels good to have a job and work a full day 10 / 11 hour day. I guess that is another lesson that I have learned in my life.  If you are going to do a job make sure you do it well! I am trying my best to do my job well and keep on top of it all. If I could stay at the office until 10 at night to get stuff done I would.  But I have also learned in life that you need to take time away from work and play a little. That second lesson I am often not too good at but maybe I will learn to get better. 

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD

I LOVE CHILDREN'S BOOKS! 
One thing that I have learned is that you are never too old to read or buy a good children's book.
I love going to the bookstore and going right to the children's section.
It is fun to look at the fun art in the books, the characters that these writers have created and see the ways they have tried to bring things to life for their readers.  But most of all I love how they bring a simple and true message that not only is beneficial for a child to remember but also an adult.  While I do not have children of my own I find myself buying children's books to just enjoy.  I love to give some of my favorites to new mothers or little kids.  I only hope they will enjoy them as much as I have So you see while the section in the bookstore may have smaller shelves, stuff animals and little chairs you are never to old to go browse through and read / buy a book or two.  And who knows if you are lucky you might get a better life lesson out of the book than you would have reading the latest vampire series.

MAKE SOMEONE SMILE

Another lesson that I have learned in life is it always great to make someone smile.
You don't have to do something big or glamorous to make someone smile.  Sometimes it is the little thing(s) that you do that can add a big smile to one's face. It could be something simple as a little e-mail/ text to say Hello or Good Luck.  It could be an unexpected card in the mail or just a simple Hello at work, church or school.  
I know how great I feel when someone does something that makes me smile and so I try everyday to try to something that will make someone smile or happy.
