So this is the week of our semi-annual training at work. We hold it every April and every October. It is a busy week for me – I present a couple of the sessions and the rest of the time I am taking care of the busy work: making sure coffee is made and that there are cups, sugar, creamer, etc; putting out nutritious foodstuffs in the morning – and CHOCOLATE and cookies in the afternoons; setting up the power point for the main presenter; etc., etc., etc. (shall we DANCE, ba da bamp ba!)

Yesterday one of the students (these are adult students, btw)looked up at me and said I want to be just like you when I grow up. As I am ever quick with the tongue I laughed and said What? worn out and rushing madly?

She assured me that it was sincerely meant and that if she could think of the word to describe me adequately she would tell me.

Well, folks, that was just a sweet balm. Very kind of her and a much needed compliment at that moment. All together now . . . awwwwwwww
