The only thing wrong with instant gratification is it takes too long

I have found that I really like quotes. Maybe its because I use them to reflect, or maybe its because I often find humor in them, but for whatever reason I like them. I recently sat in an Executive Directors meeting and presented my reflection of our companys mission statement. My partner and I had been asked by one of the owners to do this and we certainly didnt want to let him down so we did what any good manager would do and began to delegate...lol. Ive always heard that the key to success is to surround yourself with people that are smarter than you are and for some reason that hasnt been too big of a problem for me. We decided to collect pictures of our residents on therapy outings enjoying themselves and put them on a dvd with music in the background. Thank God for technology and for competent managers as I solicited Sandy, one of my directors, to put it together for me. We used a Kenny Chesney song, "Dont Blink", which was very appropriate and also another song by Josh Grobin(I think) called ," You raise me up". She did an outstanding job, with the help of her husband, and in the end she burned me an additional 50 dvds to give out as "souveneirs" to take back to their living centers and play for their staffs. I must say it turned out quite well and the comments were all positive. I remember when I was younger and much shyer that I would have been terrified to have spoken in front of a crowd, but now as an older, more mature version of me I actually dont mind public speaking at all. Im not trying to say Im good at it, but I just dont mind doing it. Im going to try and be a little more faithful to this thing as I am actually finding it to be quite therapeutic for myself to reflect. Go figure, maybe I have been out of high school 25 years!
