Daily Smile 04Jan13

Welcome to day 2 of my smile a day blog. My smile of the day was thanks to a client named Mrs. Johnson and the dog's name is Buster, he is a Boston Terrier. We did cataract surgery on Buster last week. Mrs. Johnson gave me a hug and told me how she wasn't sure if she would be doing so well with Buster's medication if it wasn't all of my great advice and taking the time out to go over each medication multiple times to make sure that she fully understood what to give and when to give it. In my line of work, we don't get compliments like that very much. All of the technicians I've worked with that truly care about what they do and these patients, none of them ever get the gratification from clients that they deserve. So for this woman to take time and individually think me for doing my job basically, meant so much to me. I know what I do is important, and I do it for the pets not for the owners, but it is nice just feel appreciated every now and then. Although, sometimes I'll take a slobbery lick in the face and a tail wag from a dog over a thank you from a client. Sometimes humans can give false thank you, but a dog can't fake a tail wag.

So... I have decided to start a ritual of speaking to this, my blog, on a daily basis. Okay that absolutely made no sense. Now I'm just going to talk to you as if you are a friend. Today I want to talk about how every day I'm going to try to mention one thing that has made me smile. Today, the one thing that made me smile, was that I gave my official official notice to my work. I will be moving to Austin in a couple weeks and I have seriously never been more excited about my future. I've always been a little hesitant about change and have been scared of the unknown, but in this instance... I couldn't be more thrilled. I'm looking forward to writing the next chapter of my life. Inspiration is everywhere, never be afraid to share. Advice is always greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!
