Life Lesson(s)

Today my effort was to have ever person who encountered me, leave feeling better than before they encountered me.

If it was just a passing, I smiled.
If it was talking, I focused on being positive or saying something uplifting.
I looked for a quote for my twitter and facebook to reflect my love of camping, nature, and solitude.

I hope it made a different. I have faith that it did.

I tried to model a person whom I would enjoy knowing. The Vice-President met with me this afternoon to let me know that of 61 applications for the Assistant Vice-President position, I was #3 and they are only interviewing #s 1 & 2. This didn't upset me because I know, and I said to the VP, that really my job is done. I have long said that my only job was to walk through the doors God opens. I put myself out there and if God shuts the door, then it was not meant to be. If someone gets the AVP role that is more deserving, then I am excited to work with him/her as I can learn from them.

The encouragement the VP had for me is to speak up. I've heard that ALOT. So, I need to think about that. I think I do speak up ALOT so I need to analyze whether or not the speaking up is just in my head and maybe I'm not using my outside voice! HA!

Anyway, I end this day feeling really good about the efforts made. No regrets! I am blessed and hopefully I blessed others.
