On a personal note, please indulge me

First, fear of the unknown is part of our everyday life, however the larger the consequences the greater the fear. Although we don’t always know how we are going to respond to things in our own life, we have an advantage as people. We have friends and family. They are the ones to support us when we need them the most. While we are waiting for the grades to come back, for an email from a loved one, or worst yet medical results from some import test. L.M. our thoughts and prayers are with you now. We hope everything will go well, and no matter what your friends and family will be here with you every step of the way. Don’t hesitate to lean on us, that is what we are here for.

Second, work is one of the most addicting drugs in our everyday life. Even scarier not only is it not illegal it is encouraged by our society. Although this ambrosia is tempting even tantalizing, if we eat too much from this sacred fruit we will lost touch with other things, such as our family or even our own health. J.C. I am thrilled you love your job and what you are doing. Just be careful and not spend too much of your time or worse your energy dedicated to feeding the beast. Be wary, the beast is ever hungry and is never satisfied. I have made that mistake and lost some friends due to that, be careful. Your health and life is much more important.

Finally, on a lighter side, something I have learned from one of my closest friends. We are sometimes down so deep inside a hole we forget which way is out and which way is in. We are so obsessed with what is going on around us we lose sight of the finer things in life. It is amazing what happens when we stop caring about politics, envy, and manipulations and just do our job, how much happier we are in our job and in our life. E.S. I am thrilled that you have reached that point. It really isn’t worth your frustration those petty people and actions, you are better than that. Enjoy the new found freedom that you are experiencing.
