today.

It's Monday.  But maybe instead of approaching the day as "ugh, Monday," we can simply think of it as Today.

One of the Branch Manager's at our company had this on his desk, as he had just received it from another Manager.  He asked if I wanted a copy and it's now hanging at my desk as well.  I work in Human Resources for an Electrical Contractor.  Not typically a role or industry that involves faith (usually just the opposite), so I count my blessings being able to talk about it almost every day! 

Here's to today! 

career women.

I survived my first 55 hour work week, and my first 12 hour Friday, and I have a feeling this will be the first of many ahead. The office really transforms at 8pm on a Friday night! My mouth was watering at the thought of a cold beer, and my heart was racing at every odd sound echoing throughout the empty building...yikes!

This may be a common event for you, but holy cow, I'm feelin' it. I can't imagine doing that and then coming home to entertain a husband and care for screaming children.  ...in addition to staying healthy, maintaining a social life...Lord help me. I'm lucky to have a strong mom that set an example, but my hat goes off to all of you. I hope to join the ranks some day. 

So here's my shout out to all of you career women, especially the working moms out there that can somehow do it all. Ya'll are SAINTS!
