Appreciation

I have been working part time at Kohls for the past few months. I have really enjoyed working there. I feel appreciated for the work I do and I enjoy being there. In the last week I have had most of my managers express how good a job I do and how they know I'll get things done. One was folding some toddler clothes the other day and I walked by and he said, "are we doing it to your standards". :) That made me laugh. I feel so appreciated there and it really lifts me up, especially now. It's about the only place I feel appreciated. I had to tell them last night that I was going to have to leave and I thought manager L was going to cry. She's so sweet and said they're really going to miss me. I'm going to miss working there too. The atmosphere was really great and I enjoyed interacting with people. It has also given me more confidence and that is a great thing.

Dove Promises

This may sound completely ridiculous but nonetheless it's true. There are things I'm struggling with every day and realizing the direction my life has quickly turned is very difficult. Now, if you're like me, you absolutely love chocolate... and the better the chocolate, well... the BETTER. Anyway. I had a friend buy me some Dove chocolates a few weeks ago. Two bags. I was lucky. So I've been slowing eating them trying not to devour the deliciousness too quickly. In the past two weeks I've gotten some "messages" from them that have real meaning in my life right now. So I'm going to share a few of them with you. It just goes to show you.... the smallest things can make your day a little bit brighter.

"Open your eyes to the love around you."

"Love cures people, both the ones who give and the ones who receive."

"Keep believing in yourself and your special dreams."

"Believe the best in yourself."

"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow."

"In chaos there lies opportunity."

"Smile when you want to, cry when you need to, laugh whenever possible!"
