A Time to Shine

20170821_144108

 

 

Awaken early and trying to decide rather I’m going to try and close my eyes again. Laughing, because once my mind gets to a thinking – there’s no going back to Dreamland.

 

Today has already started out to be different and I see my “true” self trying to return. I normally get my phone going through my Facebook post, turning a game on, and the TV as well. A typical early day.

 

Not today, because of the people on my page. A simple question: Did you listen to this song in the church you grew up in? I may have come to my enlightening some 30 years later (and grateful for the day I found Jesus) and learned of the song then. The second post was actually from some of the singers, (of my church) singing among themselves, but it reminded me of who I am.

 

Smiling as I got up turned on my gospel music as I listen to words keeping with my faith as I start a light cleaning project. I haven’t spent time working on what’s important to me. From my blog, another book, crochet projects, walking and dancing for my health. I can’t be a better me, if I keep working paycheck to paycheck and NEVER getting ahead.

 

I keep telling the youth to find a dream and set it free, because working paycheck to paycheck may pay the bills, (somewhat) but are you “Happy?” I need to slow down and take my own advice a.k.a why I am not pl

aying a game. I am more than what people see and it’s time to Shine….

 

Look out World Mz. Lisa is taking that step to be free and Happy!!!!

Trying to Workout….

Working out at home sounds like a good thing to do.

You look up the right routine for the amount of time you have to actually work out.

You have on your new workout clothes –

(who says you can’t be cute when you get back to a better you).

You got the space you are going to need to move

and the music ready to be turned on.

One, two, and –

 

This would work if only you was home alone.

Who would think an animal or a small child would like to do what you are doing,

and doing it in the same space you are trying to do  lunges in.

“I’ll try again tomorrow when everyone is asleep or behind another door.” You say out loud as you put away your yoga mate and shake your head.

 

What should have taken twenty minutes to get back to the person you was before little the  feet in your house. It has taken you fifteen minutes to realize you need to figure out how to workout alone.

 

The

    End!

Thinking Out Loud:What is Your Answer?

How do you know when its  time to leave your job? Is a question I seem to be asking myself every day I walk through my job sight doors.

I am: 1 A people person.  2. I enjoy talking.  3. I like to help (and it doesn’t matter if its a customer or a co-worker).  4. I like things to be in the right place, organized, and easy to get at.  5. I love – No I Love to make things look nice.

And, above all else I am a Christian. I am also a honest, caring, and dependable person. I set a high standard for myself. I  maybe wrong in thinking others would think the same about themselves.

I have to get into the Word strong before going through those doors, because I know what was waiting for me inside. I go in every day expecting it will be better, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

The same question come to my mind once again and I knew one day I was goingto have to say, “Enough is Enough.” It didn’t matter if I liked the job – it matter if I was going to be able to be who I am. I will have my answer in the end. Do I stay or move on?

My question for you is, “Do you have your answer?”

 

The  End!

 

The World of Retail

Caller: I was in the store last night and I saw this pot in the clearance section. Do you know where that is?

Staff : (thinking – why did I have to get a smart *** caller. I work in this department. I set that area up – then you are wondering why this person is talking so fast as she gives directions?) “Yes”. was all she allowed you to say before more words came at you.

Caller: Can you see if you still have it?

Staff :  Can you hold please. (Thinking – Too bad I only heard two words this person said)

The staff is now hoping they got the right pot, then they realized,  there’s more then one pot on the table.  The rude uptight customer was too busy talking down to you – you have no idea what she wants.

Staff gets back on the phone, tell the customer what they saw, and before you could ask if they know the name –

Caller : No – no – no 

Customer once again is talking faster, and louder. She must think that would be better. Then once again she would be wrong and that wasn helping either – lady.

Staff : (thinking, ” Why don’t she stop talking so I can actually help her”) Excuse me. No response. Excuse me. (Staff had to get loud) 

Caller: I use to work retail and I never talk to a customer like that.


In the end staff could no longer being talked down too and treated like they couldn’t do their job and the customer could do it better. Manager had to take over and even then it took a few more minutes to understand what the caller wanted.


It’s funny, but if the caller had, spoken in a calm and slow voice she could have been done with her call twenty minutes earlier, because she didn’t understand if one want someones help –  you Don’t talk AT them, but talk too them..


Staff : “Good – Bye,” and please don’t call again… Talking out loud and walking away from the rude caller on the phone.
