Thank You

This is as close as I'm to a "thank you note." I am grateful and/or proud of these traits and accomplishments

  • Beginning each day with a positive outlook.

  • Seeing the optimistic side first.

  • Accepting that I may think like Macgyver, I know my limitations and can delegate the physical aspects to someone with skills.

  • I'm proud of the business I've built, from the whim of "Wouldn't that be fun?" to supporting my family.

  • I'm proud of the care I gave to Jim. From attempting to make each day have a sprinkle of fun to the physical care he required towards the end. I'm grateful we had each other through that journey and comfortable knowing I gave him as much as possible.

  • I'm proud of the care Lisa and I gave the apartments. We listened when the tenants called, and we remedied any problems quickly. We made improvements to the property, both outside and inside units. Our efforts resulted in tripling the initial investment value. They were stagnant when we took over management. So, yay us!

Please keep this in mind for the next assignment. I like the task jar more.

Discussion topic .. people pleasing. During Sunday morning coffee time Brady and I were discussing I don’t know what we were discussing. Oh, actually, I do but it has nothing to do with my question or suggestion of topic rather. I was explaining to him my frustration with a necklace my sister gave me the fact that I had asked to receive my grandmother‘s wedding rings they were given to Lisa, and several years later, quite a few years later, she cut the ring and had a necklace made out of a portion of the ring for me. I don’t think she ever knew that I’d asked for the rings she was giving it to me as a remembrance of her that I would think of her when I wore it. I find the whole thing aggravating every time I look at it because I can’t believe the ring I asked for was cut. However, when I know I’m going to see her I will put it on because I know she gets pleasure out of it. Brady was asking why I’m forever people pleasing and shouldn’t I at some point in my life be able to not worry about what other people think. I don’t put the necklace on because I want her to think well of me. I put it on because I know it makes her feel good about herself. Why do I do this and why do I care.
