Hi {!firstname},
 What an amazing week. I had a wonderful time catching up with a few friends and associates who got off my radar screen. As you might have guessed, we picked up right where we left off, as though we had lunched together a week ago instead of a year ago. Now isn't that the sign of real friendship! I always leave these get-togethers feeling so good and wondering how a year slipped by us so quickly. Of course our lives take different turns and distance can get in the way, but how on earth can life be so busy and complicated that we cannot find the time for a couple of hours of real friendship!
Rather than ponder it too much, I decided to book lunch with two more friends I have been missing. I then took it a step further and looked at my calendar for the last quarter of 2010 and made a little list of special people I would like to see. Thoughts filled my head about the fun it would be to connect once again. Definitely a time for lots of facial exercise (that being with smiles) and a good belly laugh here and there. All very good for the heart and soul!
In December we will have many social occasions for connecting with family and friends. However, too often the holiday season is a bit of a blur without the one on one chance to really catch up. The face to face time that is so valuable. What do you think? Is it time to reconnect with a few special people? If so, make a plan and enjoy!
Best Always,
Dorothy |

| The Joy of Job Satisfaction... |
 Fortunate are those who love their job. It has always been my belief that the minute you start to resent getting out of bed to head to your place of employment, is the minute you must stop and take time to consider your options. Regardless of your history with the company, life is too short to wake up dreading the day ahead.
This said there are many reasons we do not proactively address this situation.
We hesitate, procrastinate and complain because of one or more of the following:
- We view work as a means to an end and we are financially comfortable
- Stability is more important than our job satisfaction
- Potential exists for advancement due to our years of service
- Change is difficult and who knows if it will be better somewhere else
- Present associates are known elements to us
- Team members are socially important to us
- Our boss is the main problem
- The economy is not strong
- Our confidence and self esteem is low
- Benefits and pension plan could be lost
Of course this list varies for every individual, but depending on the extent of the list we may conclude we cannot exist for the balance of our working years in JOB HELL!!

When making decisions it helps to put some distance between you and the situation. Climb a mountain or visualize doing so and look down at the big picture. It is amazing how this fresh new perspective yields clarity. |
