Kids of all ages
Today was an overall successful day even with all the rain….AND…cold weather! At least it will feel like winter for the lighting of the Tree on Saturday!! There were a few snags…nothing major….tent set up took a little longer than I expected..and the fire marshall inspection was a little confusing….but I was thankful that I keep most of my emails for that chance that I need to use it someday….today was one of those days! The Holiday Light Store in Raleigh is decorating the local talent tent, so they started that process today. Seemed to be running smoothly when I left this afternoon. All the other stages were up and the rest of the decorations will be placed tomorrow. Friday will be a very, very busy day…..so I’m going to see how much sleep I can get tonight!
Tonight, I’m sitting here watching The Office while my niece and nephew are sleeping (babysitting!). I realize how great being a kid is/was……the true joys in life…no matter how hard your day is….hanging out with a 5 year old and a 2 year old..sure is fun. But, it got me thinking of the different personalities that you encounter throughout your life…in the workplace…..today was one of those days that I realized how different folks are, but hey…..it wouldn’t be exciting if we all were the same! We are all KIDs just different ages…..and change is sometimes hard.
I found these quotes that help me deal with some of my experiences today:
Patience is the ability to count down before you blast off. ~Author Unknown
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.”
Chinese Proverb
Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music. ~William Stafford

Don’t forget that patience is a virtue. Hold onto it. Better yet - GRASP it - these next two days and all will work itself out. We have confidence in you, Miss Jennifer. This year’s Tree will be the BEST ever. I can feel it.
And when it’s over, be that little kid and jump up and down in pure delight cuz you will have deserved it!
Have a GREAT time!!

You are probably the most patient person I know…and I am probably the most impatient person in the world! And, we work so well together…how is that? I am going to miss the Jen/Maryann team! But, I am still here for you…although you don’t need me…Don’t change who you are!!
