Ear to Ear

Yes, I have a smile on my face the size of Kansas. I am grinning from ear to ear. Starting on Friday, I get to do something I really love. And the better part? I don’t have to do the parts I don’t love, because I have someone working with me who loves those parts as much as I don’t.

I was telling a dear friend tonight, I do not believe I lead a charmed life. Far from it. I have had more than my share of hardship, heartache, really tough times, times that I didn’t think I’d get through, to be honest with you. But, I’ve also had more than my share of good times too. 

I think I have a pretty good idea at this point in my life of what is important and what is not. Doing the right thing, even when it’s very hard to do, treating people with respect and kindness, telling the people you love and appreciate how much you do, taking the time to connect with my family and my friends . . . those are the driving forces in my life. And I have to tell you, to have that validated, over and over today, was heartwarming. 

I am grateful, thankful, appreciative, excited, a little nervous, but not really that nervous. I’ve got this. Right?
