A Ramble About Keeping Your Cool In The Lean Moments
To make anything happen when you are short on resources requires ingenuity and team work. I have been reminded of how you have to inspire others and to remain positive when things are not optimal in the situation you are in. For many the reaction when you are behind the eight ball is to panic but you can’t do that. Cooler heads will always prevail.
You have to be a little fearless and experimental to get through the obstacles of the moment. Now it’s OK to be a little afraid as long as you don’t show those cards to anyone. Confidence is a significant asset too (something I am working on) but most importantly keeping your focus on the task at hand can lead to good things. Always keep your chin up your eyes looking forward and find your motivation to move forward.
Labor Day In America
Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. (From History.com)
To everyone who has worked to build their families and communities I salute you. Be proud of what you have done to make this world better. Whether you are punching a clock or drawing a salary your work matters. Work hard and live well. Thank you for your service to those who are working. Here is to those who are looking for their next opportunity.

It’s Friday Everyone!
Hey everyone Friday is here (unless it’s Saturday where you are). I hope you have a strong finish of your week. Have a great day good people. Let’s do this thing!
A Ramble About Retirement
Today a co-worker retired after 33 years of service to the company and there was a pot-luck lunch given in her honor. My longest tenure was 8 years for Olan Mills Church Directories. People have multiple jobs in multiple locations over their lifetime. Just ask freelancers, ministers and others who work one string of temp jobs after another. Some people change jobs like they do their socks.
There is something to be said for longevity and stability. It sure makes managing your retirement fund easier I would think. Companies are getting rid of older workers all the time to keep payroll and expenses lower to improve profit margins.
Retirement is a great thing. They say you are busier in retirement than at any other time in life. This is something we all must face at one time in our lives. I can safely say I won’t get a retirement cake saying 33 years. I might get a cupcake or something like that.
