CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was recently caught up thinking about my own “problems” when an acquaintance mentioned that he was heading to a doctor’s appointment to find out whether or not his daughter’s cancer was in remission. I was immediately reminded that I have no real problems in my life and should be more diligent about counting my blessings instead of worrying about the little stuff. It was a great reminder to maintain a positive perspective.

Short and sweet today.  Question:  Is the culture in your workplace the way you want it to be?   If not…what are you doing to change it?

MOLESKIN:

Cosmo pointed out that we may have set an F3 record of sorts….we didn’t do any merkins!  It wasn’t intentional, but that’s how it worked out.   Does it really count as an F3 beatdown if you don’t do any merkins??
