Hi all

I had a really interesting week last week. First I went and spent three
days with a great group from the Governor's Planning Council at their
Conference.

I set up the IN*SOURCE booth, which is the group I work for. I had really
planned to go to the sessions too. But it really wasn't possible because
my booth ended up being the most busy one there. I also was the one that had a few parents or others that needed to be lead to other booths and
given a little boost to talk to them about things. So it was productive for
me.

I really enjoyed my time, and felt like I set a professional example. I also had the chance to pick up my special gift for my co-workers while there. See
we had a meeting on thursday and friday. And I always take some little thing as a surprise for them. But this year the date wasn't known early enough. So I didn't have my surprise I'd been sick. But the metlife gentlemen, had asked if I had a idea about how he could approach my co-workers about giving presentations to their parents like he does mine. And I suggested I take material, And he included a little Snoopy. Which they all loved.

I got to take care of a couple of my really rough cases, got to see if a special
agency would help the parents. And also got to meet a couple of other people who could come present to my parents. So it was so productive.

Next on Thursday and Friday I spent the days with my co-workers and
supervisors. And it was so nice. And then today of all things I was complimented my my supervisor on how nice I looked. It was really
nice to hear that because I put a lot of effort in making sure I had the
right clothes for the week.

So I had a great week, and Derrick spent the week with some friends.

Dear Donna,



This is amazing.
I'm hearing that you can find good in little and big accomplishments. It takes a gift or to see things this way (or hard work or both).

And it is nice to get compliments. Sometimes they are hard to come by and even though we already know in our hearts that we did a good job, it helps a lot for someone to speak up when they recognize good work.

The best part of all is that you are helping others. That is the work of the angels.
