Not One Word

Not one person from management gave me a kind word for 29 years of service.

Not that I expected any, but it would have been nice to hear.

Hey Chris congrats on being here 29 years. 

We appreciate your hard work. 

Nothing.

I didnt expect money or a gift card

Just a kind word.

For my 25 year award the head of shipping handed me my envelope with my check in it.  No congrats or I appreciate your efforts.  No words at all.

It makes me sad.  Unappreciated.  Not cared for.

Words are important.  Kind words.  Words of appreciation.  They heal the soul.  Make people smile.  They are remembered.

I only have 532 days left til I retire,  but it sure makes me think about getting out of here earlier……

Intuition Or What?

When I pulled in the driveway on Friday night a song came on the radio.

Amarillo By Morning by George Strait.

This song was played at my husband’s ex bosses funeral.

And then I heard these words.

Have Steve call Marilyn.

Steve is my husband.  Marilyn is his wife

I waited a couple of minutes and I told my husband what I experienced.

He told me I was hearing things.

I told him he should call her.

He said he would but didn’t until tonight.

He texted her a couple of hours ago to wish her a happy birthday.

She responded with the news her son has cancer. 

Wow.

I’ve never experienced anything like this. 

Have you?

Maybe one thing doesn’t have anything to do with the other.

Maybe its just a coincidence, but i heard the words loud and clear.

I don’t know.

Do you listen to your intuition?

Do you think this is what this is?

What are your thoughts?
