Thank God for work.

The rest of my work week has been somewhat challenging but the work has kept me focused. I really like what I do and regardless of what is happening I still want to help my attorneys and make their day go as smoothly as possible. I don't like drama at work so I have tried to keep it in check so we didn't end up flooding the place, but it was hard. I try to keep a smile on my face so sadness doesn't overtake my space and for the most part I haven't been sad, I am still somehow happy, hopeful even joyous. I look at the picture of my 3 little grandsons on my desk and everything is right with the world and I'm still happy. There are such kind caring people here at work and it makes it so much easier for me. I have such good friends here that I love so much. And the firm has been amazing with the way they have treated me and are trying to help me. They tell me "we" will get through this and when I hear that I realize I am not alone and people will help me. It really took a load off my heavy shoulders to know I had their support and they would help make this easier for me. All the hugs, cards, flowers, emails, kind words…it really has made a difference. In one of the emails they wanted me to know they were on "Team Vicki." That was so cool to think I have a whole team, that I am not alone. I am looking forward to the Memorial Weekend and then next week is my last week of work. I start my leave June 1st, but I WILL be back.
