It's one of those days where I feel simply un-motivated. In hopes to kick this un-motivation to the curb I made a cup of coffee and took a little walk upstairs to see Mrs. Elinor. Now, you see Mrs. Elinor is basically the adopted grandmother of everyone in the office. She has been here working at Regent for longer than anyone I know. She is a wise soul with so much to give and always makes me feel special. I walked into her cozy cube and she asked me to take a seat in her chair. You see, Elinor's cubical has a ceiling to it made of drapes to block the harsh florescent light and several baby lamps to bring life to her space. It's a peaceful environment. It's one that makes you feel like you stepped into a very small living room. I sat there in her chair over my cup of coffee as she stood leaning against her desk. Times spent with Elinor are always a treat. I sat and sipped as she spoke from her heart about certain things that were happening in her life and within the workplace. She made me tear up a couple of times in the course of 10 minutes. I sat there in the moment knowing exactly where I was, what I was feeling and simply taking a heart-note of thankfulness and admiration for this woman and our relationship. I hope to have as much passion as her when I get to be in my 70's. I want to have much to give and hope to make everyone I meet feel special. She talked about that specifically as I sat there. She truly believes in the individual. It's a beautiful thing to hear her talk about her passion and care and heart for everyone she meets and comes in contact with. I know this is such a random tid-bit of writing but some things simply need to be expressed and who am I to keep them back.
