I did it!!

I looked on my Stampin' Up! activity statement and I just noticed I earned the Fiji trip a couple days ago. How very exciting! I sure hope I get to go! Since we weren't able to go on the Alaska cruise and I'm not sure about the Disney trip I feel like I'm due for a Stampin Up vacation..... but we'll see.

My goal to earn the trip was October and I achieved it a month early.  Now that the career plan changed ..I received points for going to Leadership, going to Convention, sales and downline promotions.  I owe a lot of thanks to a lot of people.  If you're one of them "Thank You!!" 

I don't usually share this kind of info because I never want to sound like I'm bragging ...but since I've shared so much gloom & doom ...I figured it was time to share some positive things in my life. 

I read each and every comment a couple times ....sometimes even more and although the last few months have been difficult ... I'm still a very blessed person and I'm not forgetting it.  My husband is employed, we have a roof over our heads, we  have our health (for the most part) and our children are doing well.  For years and I do mean years ....my prayer every night was please let my children be happy in their hearts.  As long as they are happy .... everything else will work itself out!!   They are both doing well and that means I am too. 

Speaking of Chase .... today is his third day at Best Buy ...in fact he's worked 24 hours in just three days.  I'm very proud of him!! and I enjoy when he gets home from work and I can grill him about his day.  His very first day ... a couple behaved badly ...lucky for Chase his supervisor was there to handle it.  But also on his first day a gentleman was very nice and even gave him a compliment. 

I remind him every day before he goes to work that there are people that complain about their jobs every day ...don't be one of those people.  Concentrate on the positive and you'll do great. 

Gotta run ...I at the very least need to check some emails today!!

Just got caught up on your postings. Sounds like there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Just remember slow progress is better than none.
