Continually Evaluating Life

Each day brings new things and people to evaluate into our lives and I find myself spending a good bit of my quiet time reviewing them. What makes something or someone "quality" in my mind - you know those that you want further contact with to delve deeper into to learn more and to get to know better to call friend not a mere acquaintance.

I just got back yesterday from 2 more days in Fayetteville at the store there helping to clean it up to Company standards. I met quite a few new people while there and was around some of the same that was there last week as well. Some of which have hit their mark in my heart and soul.

Marty a wonderful NY gal from the Winston-Salem store was there and I could spend days and days with her talking about her life in NY and after. She has led an interesting full life with loads of wonderful stories and she has the most outstanding personality. I love her straightforward frankness and her smile that warms your heart from across the store. Her work ethic is impeccable.

Bill the manager of the Wilmington store is always fun to be around. He is such a character and finds something fun in everything. He is very approachable and willing to help with any questions I have. We share the same interests in types of shows on TV.

Denise road with me up and back and she and I talked about all sorts of things. I learned a lot more about her and would enjoy traveling with her again. We worked well together cleaning up the scrapbook section of the store and share the same thoroughness.

Tim my district manager is another interesting person that I look forward to getting to know better. I admire his work ethic and drive to get all his stores to Company standards as well as his willingness to help all of us learn more to be successful. I also admire his faith and his love for his family which is evident in how hard he works to provide for them and how much he stays involved with his children's activities even with all the traveling that he does.

Most of all I am truly thankful and blessed to be married to my best friend, Scott. Scott's birthday is Sunday and I'm trying to think up a special way to celebrate it for him. I've scheduled myself off for the day so we could start the day with some fantastic omelette's or french toast. As far as a gift - hmmm! That I will have to think on some more.
