Seasonal gift...

There is so much in my life that is yet to be shared - so much that I am often overwhelmed and have difficulty deciding what is blog-worthy. But, often I find that many of you share with me something that touched you that pehaps others were not as affected by...thereby, the hodge-podge of blogging material. Tonight is no exception...

At work, we have been celebrating National Rehab Week. I don't often refer to my career in my blog because although I love what I do and try to give 110% to it while I am there, it is only one small part of who I am. However, I have been an occupational therapist since 1996 and am pleased to have been employed the last (almost) six years in long-term care. I truly feel blessed to have been provided with this great opportunity close to my home to work with the elderly of my community. But, I also must admit that it is often an emotionally and physically challenging work environment. So, it is nice to take a week to celebrate your accomplishments with your colleagues. Our administrator was kind enough to take us all out for a great afternoon lunch yesterday. I had gifts for all of the team, however they also surprised me with a purely delightful thank you gift that I had to share with you...right down my alley. I love primitive decor and they gave me these delightful fall pumpkins from Demdaco. And - you just can't beat Candleberry Candles in the Honey Buttered Rolls scent, can you? Smell it? Do you have the smell-a-blog feature installed on your computer? I hope so...divine, huh?
