Without proper tools

What do you do when you're given a job without being given the proper tools with which to do it? (I digress, but did you see how I maneuvered that sentence so that it would not end a preposition with? Cool, huh?) Anyway....

I guess you do the best you can with what you've got and try, valiantly to keep a sense of humor about it all.

That is what I shall do today at work. I will smile at the piqued customers and shrug and say "how do you like me now?"

This situation is giving me ample opportunity to practice what I say I believe.

I'll let you know how that works.

In the meantime, how about a double tall caramel machiato and a butter croissant?

It's funny how the mind works. I've been telling myself the same thing for days - stop worrying, just relax, you can only do what you can do.

By the end of the day today, I knew two things - FELT them, right down to the bones.

1. I AM a Starbucks barista. I CAN hang.

and 2. When in doubt, sing. . .

And finally, after saying it for days, the feeling finally came. The weight is gone and my energy came back in spades.

Love it!
