Feels good to be valued

-
For months I haven't felt valued at work, but recently I've been interviewing with several different local companies.  I must say, it feels good to be valued.  When people want to know your opinion and believe that you can assist them to be better than they are, that feels good.  To know that you have experiences, knowledge and a point of view that is of worth...that is very reaffirming.

Today, I encourage all of you to interview somewhere so that you too can reaffirm your self-worth and you never know, you might end up with some bargaining chips at your current job or you might even land a new job.

You are VALUABLE!

It's been a while since I've written, and a lot has happened.  I've been at Lockton for four months and feel like I am just starting to settle in.  My oldest daughter and son-in-law graduated from William Jewell with their bachelor's degrees.  Both were accepted to Yale for grad school starting in the fall, EmmaRae with a full ride plus stipend; yes, I'm proud and thrilled.  We went on a two week vacation to California, where we saw the giant sequoias, and Napa Valley wine country.  And this week, on Wednesday, June 26, 2019, at 5:41am, my Dad passed away after fighting cancer for more than a year.

After much back and forth, my wife and I have finally decided on our travel plans.  Instead of 30 days in one place, we will break up our travels between two countries and a home improvement project.  One week in Cabo San Lucas beginning the day after I'm laid off and two weeks in Costa Rica in January.  Between trips, we will be remodeling our master bathroom as well. I'm looking forward to time with my wife, to traveling and making memories, and to some manual labor in my bathroom as we tear everything out and start over with tile, etc. Soon I'll have an announcement about what I'll be doing in 2019.  In the meantime, here's to time away! Best to you all! Doug and Stacey
