Misunderstanding and disagreement in any relationship can actually be an opportunity to learn about ourselves.  However, most of the time we simply focus on how the other person is  wrong .  It is easier to point the finger than to look to ourselves and face the unpleasant truth that we may share some or all of the responsibility.  We think, "If he (or she) were only more considerate, had more time for me, or did the dishes more,  then  I'd be happy." Instead of looking at our own behavior, we believe that the other person is the problem.  We believe we are justified, reasonable and more than fair.   They  need to change.

Hi Guys!  So on Friday of last week, I get a call from my boss in California. He asked if I would be interested in taking over as office manager for our office in Roseville, Minnesota.  I was really surprised to say the least. (me? an office MANAGER?)  I accepted. Over the last year I've been slowly been taking over more and more tasks from the current office manager, and now I get the whole kip & kaboodle.  She isn't fired or leaving or anything, but this frees her up to take care of her growing list of other duties involving sales representatives.   I haven't gone to college. No technical schooling, yet here I am making good pay as an office manager in a job I actually enjoy and like.  Had to share - thanks for reading.  April

Greetings! I have my follow up appointment today with the digestive specialists to go over the results of my colonoscopy. Good news - no disease activity, no present inflammation, and the biopsies they took are all non cancerous. She did point out that I am at high risk for cancer so they are going to continue to closely monitor me. YAY!
