A Cup Of Goodness

Today, one of our community members shared a story about hot chocolate… and it prompted an idea in my mind…. Since it so very cold here and the folks I am working with are working so very hard, I sent a note to our executive team and asked them to consider greeting folks in the lobby with a cup of hot chocolate and/or cup of coffee one morning. I told them that I wasn’t sure if the company had the funds for that but if not I was personally willing to chip in and help fund it and was hopeful the team would support me in it.

Yesterday we recieved the gift of some snow. When I left work for the day, I happily cleaned off my car (I really love the snow) and after doing so, I cleaned off the car next to me. A simple little act that took less than 5 minutes. My hope and wish is that it put a smile on the face and warmth in the heart of the driver and that in turn spread through their family when they arrived home!
