Packed and ready……

Every journey starts with a few things, book a flight, or study the map.   Pack your bags, and leave the house.  Steps one and two done, now just the flight to New York!   There is a more important preparation for a journey,  ask why are you going?   As you know,  I bared my soul yesterday about all the reason I would love to spend this week somewhere well south of New York City.  Let take another moment to tell you why I’m glad to be going there.  A lot of people will be coming to the Nikon booth, they will be coming to get answers, to seek advice, and learn something they really want to know.   My job, what I’m paid to do, is answer that call.  I’m armed with great training, and years of study, and I love being one of the people that gets to help those people.  Is everyone pleasant, nope, is everyone appreciative, sorry no again, but that doesn’t matter, everyone that steps to my spot at the counter is going to get my best!

That brings me to the point of tonight’s entry, giving your best.  I’ve had the immense pleasure and honor of learning from one of the very best people at doing that, I’ve ever known.  My bride, Sherelene is the consummate professional, she doesn’t know how to give anything less than 110%, as a wife, mother, grandmother, nurse practitioner and servant of God.  I think I have an incredible motor for a man my age, but my ability to keep driving with full intensity, pales in comparison to Sherelene.  Effort alone is not enough, heart and commitment are the finishers.  It’s not what you do, but why you do it.  I give my all because I’m doing it as unto Christ, and I’ve had a great teacher in her!  Thanks Sherelene, I’m learning, but will never catch up with you, but then being number two behind you, is not bad at all!

Goodnight sweetheart,

Bill
