A few days ago I was reviewing my new work orders and caught myself feeling slightly overwhelmed. I had so many orders to fill and appointments to make and things I wanted to do, and it seemed as though there simply were not enough hours in the day to accomplish all I wanted to. And just as I was beginning to wonder what it would cost to have myself cloned, a pink piece of paper caught my eye. It was attached to an order that had been mailed in and I couldn't help but pick it up.
It was a note from a customer whom we will call Virginia. In her note she wrote about her son, Samuel, who had sustained fatal injuries in an auto accident. She wrote that her son was full of life and passionate about his career truck driver. Each morning her son awoke with a purpose: to deliver goods so that they could be used. Wow.
And as I read that letter the overwhelmed feeling slowly began to fade. Each and every morning I get to wake up and do something I love and help people memorialize those that they love. I do make a difference in my customer's lives and that fact alone is enough to push me forward and motivate me to make something beautiful that represents something beautiful. What a wonderful life!
