A deep breath

A deep breath I walked into the shop this morning at 7am.. Everything was quiet and I just took a breath.. I am so thankful for everything I have. 5 years ago my world was falling apart. Ken ( my husband ) was terminally ill. We were preparing for his passing, I had a business partner that was more interested in party life than working, I was living in a run down trailer, in a trailer park, and my world was in and out of hospitals, and sadness. I would have never believed it, had someone told me that today, I would have a wonderful new company. A new shop in a good area of town. Live in a beautiful home, have a wonderful man in my life who loves me and a great business partner. I am hopeful about the future and look forward to coming into work most days… Oh sure it is hard getting your name known again, and balancing incoming and outgoing funds. We are bidding on some large contracts and have found ourselves in the same circles as the larger, mascot companies. It took me 8 years to get to where I am now in business and it has only been 2 years. I believe in fate and people are put in our lives for reason. While I believe we are each responsible for our own success I also believe the tools are put before us to use or not. I just want to take the time to be thankful for what I have, remember the people in my life who have passed, my mom, my husband, my grandparents, friends Linda, Terry, Betty, Mike, Laurence, Brent and Kayla, and reflect on everything I have. I have truly been blessed. The traffic is now passing by and the activity in the shop creates an excitement. The next time I have bad times and I know there will be bad times I will remember this day and be thankful.
