a monday after a long weekend is always kind of a big deflating letdown, especially the thanksgiving 4-day weekend. you spent your days sleeping in, eating beige food, doing non-stuff, being a bum, and then you have to get yourself together and show up to do adulting things early on a monday.

needless to say, i was not feeling it this morning as i was slogging through the things i needed to do.

i stopped by the mailroom to pick up what may have shown up for me (sometimes it’s nothing; sometimes it’s a lot!) and in my cubby hole was a hand-written envelope. ooh! i checked it and the return address was from one of the peeps who had gone through my leadership institute with me. you best believe i tore open that sucker right then and there!

our group has a quarterly get-together on zoom for us to chat about what’s going on and share our college marketing woes, and the last one was while i was down in st charles, so i had to hop on for just 5-10 minutes to tell them my awesome news that i was finally promoted to marketing director. then i had to leave because of family stuff, and i hopped off.

so one of the people (he’s the group’s WOO if you’ve ever taken the strengthsfinder) sent me a congratulatory card for my promotion! on the front it said “good things come to those who wait” and no truer words were ever spoken.

i’ve been smiling so hard the rest of the day! the card has taken its place front and center so anytime i’m feeling woefully underprepared, i can look at that remember that i wanted this LOL
