So, when I left Former Place of Employment to go off to grad school, I had a pretty good idea that I was well liked.
However, upon returning to FPE after finishing my grad studies and being in-between gigs, I have discovered that I really mattered here. I have seen how many lives I’ve touched, and my belief that one person can and does make a difference has been reinforced.
Perhaps that sounds a bit self-righteous or a bit self-involved, and I certainly do not mean for it to come off as such. However, I wish everyone could have a “It’s a Wonderful Life” moment because too many of us feel, think, believe that we don’t matter in this world, that no one would care if we weren’t around.
Personally, I think all of us make a difference to somebody, somewhere we are just perhaps unaware of the hand-print they, we, left on their heart.
I’m seeing and witnessing my hand-prints. It’s pretty cool.
P.S. I landed the gig. Orientation is on Monday. I am positive there is a reason this gig has landed in my lap, has been brought my way. I’m eager to see the reasons why.
That’s pretty awesome! Congratulations!
Now, I still don’t know how to follow your blog… boo hoo : (
Le Pork: Thanks, it does feel awesome.
Here are the instructions that Heather left for us on how to follow:
And as far as the following…
If you guys have a blogger acct. go to your dashboard page where it lists the blogs you follow. Click manage, and then Add. Then you can copy and paste PG’s URL there and delete her old one!
I hope that helps!
Ok, I got it!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you! Sounds like things are starting to turn around. New education, new blog, new job. You sure sound happier, anyway. Keep ‘er going!
Truth be told, however, I still miss HNT. I shoulda saved all my cut-outs from that era.
YESSSSSS!!! Great news on the new job, and even better on seeing your own handprints. Truly priceless.
Le Pork: Excellent, glad I could help by sharing Heathers words of wisdom. (Thanks, Heather.)
OMC: Even though I am jobless and have made a whopping $42 in the last two weeks (and spent $30 in gas today) I am happier. SO much happier than I have been in a very long time. Self-doubt, gone. Positive Pollyisms, are at full strength. Out-look on life, fuzzy, but I know it will become clear.
Yeah, Honestly, thinking about the past HNT, I’m a little embarrassed. Oh well, that was me.
PTG: Thanks! It has been really great to be back at FPE and with good people who I know support and love me. Golly, but that does make a difference in a person’s outlook on life!
