How hard is it for you to say "Thank You"

Today I noticed something interesting, how hard it is for us to say "Thank you." I noticed it at work and I wondered how ungrateful we tend to be. It frustrates me. So here I am with my thank you list. Feel free to add yours.

Thank you for all of the customers who come in to purchase coffee, tea, retail or food.
Thank you for all of my great partners that I have a pleasure to work with.
Thank you to my Store Manager team. (great group of managers)
Thank you to my District Manager for his continued support and belief in myself and my abilities.
Thank you to my Manitoba Starbucks peeps. You all have helped me get to where I am .

Thank you to my wonderful, fun family. I love you all, Mom, Dad, Marsha, Tony, Keirstyn, Jeff, Adele, Sarah, and Uncle Wayne who is like a big brother to me.
Thank you for my extended family.
Thank you for all my dear friends across Canada and the world. LOVE YOU ALL!
Thank you for my singing teachers. Your patience and teachings still resound in my heart.

Thank you for my homeland, Canada - cold temperatures and all.
Thank you for the ability to own my place.

Thank you St. Mary's Cathedral parishioners and staff for your teachings.
Thank you Ryan Kuklik and Millie Himmelgarn.

Not Stressed

Seriously, I am not stressed. I could be about work and Christmas but nah, I am not going to stress.

I like having Christmas on New Year's with my family. I am not hurrying around and stressing on what to get my loved ones. I have started shopping, enjoying how leisurely I am going around and buying gifts.

Oh there is one little thing that is stressing me out my Starbucks day timer. It has been my life saver the past few months and I would love to find it. Ha ha ha!

Things Have Changed

I forgot about this blog I created years back. Well, here I am. Things are very different - a new city, new friends, new job position. Life is good, challenging, but good. I have been told by my new boss that I thrive on challenges. I know he is right but there are times I wish he wasn't. Well, I need to go now to start a new challenge - serving customers who are probably tired from Christmas shopping and who will be a bit cranky.
