Wednesday Wisdom

Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. – Proverbs 14:31 of The Holy Bible.

This is truly some Wednesday wisdom.

Arise and Asleep

Daily writing prompt
What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

My workday begins at 8:00 AM. So, I need to be up at 6:15 or so to make it to work on time or earlier. My alarm to wake up is set for 5:45 AM. I go to bed around 10:30 or 11:00 PM, depending on how sleepy I get. Now on Saturdays no alarm is set, and I slumber until I get hungry for breakfast. On Sunday’s I wake up around 7:30 to be at church. It’s all about routine and being flexible. Considering there are two of us, to get ready and to get going.

Something About Burnout

I found this nugget of wisdom on Facebook. I agree with it very much. Burnout is definitely related to being valued on the job and in other things you do. The way to keep people engaged and active, especially if they are a hardworking individual, is to offer some praise and appreciation. The same principles work for being on the job. As a people-pleaser, I have experienced this first hand. An attaboy or attagirl can be a good thing to do.
