This is me lately...too much thinking is making me tired. Does our brain get the summer off? Oh how I wish!
My grandpa has had this plaque in his office as far back as I can remember. I have always thought it was funny! The ironic part is that my grandpa has never done anything without 100% effort and seldom does he fall asleep unless the task is done!
I saw this plaque still hanging in his small home office. It brought back some pretty great memories!
As a child my grandpa would let me pretend to be a secretary in his office. He was an electrical contractor and had a big office. (At least when I was small it looked pretty big to me then!) I would get to answer the phone occasionally (when I was older), "Good afternoon, Modern Electric!" I felt so important. I would usually sit at my nana's desk and type on the old manual typewriter. I would type anything, copy papers that were on the desk, memos to grandpa, anything to "look" busy. Occasionally I got to sit at grandpa's BIG desk!
I think back on those times and I am full of great memories. My grandpa let me do things and feel important. I truly believe that has helped me my whole life through. Because of grandpa...I believe "I Works" pretty hard!
Always give a hundred percent, and you'll never have to second-guess yourself.
