Freedom to Just Write

Crazy to think of myself as a writer.  Not a tag I would normally apply to myself.  This blog is to prove I don't have to write for others - just for me!  I signed up for a journaling class - thinking that "taking time for me" and expressing myself is a good thing.  Actaully, I recently learned that the value of "influencing others" is very important to me.  So, it all fits together - my becoming a better "me" or the "best version of me possible" makes sense for me to then go out and influence others!  So, this is my private work on myself.  Getting my thoughts on the lcd screen.  Getting my thoughts out in the open.  Revealing my thoughts to myself.

At work I have little patience for people who can not do things for themselves.  I don't want to be the expert on everything, so when folks come to me and ask about their ABA number on their checking account or how many years they have to have on their passport to apply for a 5 year visa, I direct them to another "expert".  I would SO rather empower other people rather than do it for them!  I think they are babies when they don't pick up the phone.  But I have to give them the phone number before I judge them too quickly!  I want to work on doing that with grace.  Don't let it upset me.

My God, I have to wrap my head around my boss' departure.
