Half a dozen

It's been a whirlwind of activity since I moved. I am in a constant state of learning and along with a lifetime of experience I have determined several things to be true.

1) People will work hard if they feel as though what they do is valuable and they are valued.Threats, bad treatment and rude behavior never leads to a positive work environment, To quote a movie I have found to be very true to life in the business realm, "That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired."- Office Space

2) I don't mind living by myself. It has it's lonely moments and sometimes I wonder how healthy it is that my main source of engagement is with a 9 year old dog.

3) I have made a human friend that I finally feel is a decent, honest, TRUE friend- a rare commodity indeed.

4)Getting my bachelors degree is more important than ever!

5) My "religious" life is very important to me and has been neglected because of my working hours and lack of transportation, but now that my car is running again, I can return to worship; the downside is that I can only go at 7:30 a.m. on Saturdays- sigh.

6)I find that I really like myself more and more.
