Essential

Its a bit cold this morning, did we even have a fall? Seems we went summer, ice, summer, winter. If the 30 degree Temps stick around that is.
It could be summer later today.
It’s Monday and this is the busiest day of the week for me. Payroll, inventory, ordering, catering, all rolled up together. And that’s only if everyone shows up to work.
But first, it’s me and my coffee. Quiet time. Snuggled in a blanket on the couch, I rehash my dreams from last night. It was a double feature. Starting with a weird home invasion and ending with a OU football game with friends I haven’t met yet. How’s that for variety?
My weekend was relaxing, shared with close friends and family. It did include the OU football game, Bedlam to be exact. Mexican style food, a seven layer dip that turned into a casserole, then toppings for nachos and burrito fillings. We couldn’t decide what we wanted, so it morphed. But it was yummy!
Even made homemade guacamole.
Anyway, weekends are too short.
The work week has begun, albeit a short one because of Thanksgiving. My department is still open. People are hungry on the holidays and expect to be fed. No closing down for a holiday or even bad weather.
Now that’s essential!
Everyone has an important role.
Even in life.
You make things happen.
You are a trigger for someone else to make things happen.
You are the change!
You are the reason someone else can make it through the day.
You are the map for an untaken path.
You are the laughter, the tears and comfort.
You may be broken and cracked and still your light shines through.
You, yes you.
You are essential.
You make the world go round.
Now, go rock it!
Spread your light, wit and wisdom with others.
Be the difference.
Love big.
