Surprise! Today will be a great day!

The moment you rejoice in a new day and let things go and embrace the joy of a new day at a great job.......and then you are blessed!

Today was a great day!

Its been 6 months that I've been working at my new job.

I approached my boss asking him if I could "bend his ear" for a few moments.  He said that would be fine, that he was going to talk to me too.  We went into the conference room and I said he could go first but he insisted that I go first.  I started off saying well its about my finances and options that you had mentioned before in our last meeting.  I told him things had improved and the kids were starting to take care of their bills to me but I was still stressed.  He began to tell me that I've been doing well and......and......we are increasing your pay rate by $2.00!  I was so happy and surprised, I almost cried.  That announcement made my day!  He suggested to see how that can help and improve things and then we can meet again if we need to evaluate how my mutual fund is set up and go from there.

I went back to my desk, filled with excitement and gratitude.  I sat for a minute staring out sort of in a daze just letting it all settle in.

After my boss left for the day I decided to go to each person in the office, the other two advisors and two others.  I went to tell each of them how thankful I was for being apart of this team.  I think I surprised a couple of them but it all was received well and that was that.  

I really like my job!  I feel like part of a team, a family and I feel valued.
