“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
I am working with some great people, some who, like me, are in it for the mean time, while others have dedicated their career to being great at retail and doing their jobs quite well. This is a momentary blip for me, something that I am ashamed to say I am struggling being embarrassed about. But when I see the passion, pride and fun that come into play daily in this unfamiliar work environment I am humbled more and more. I have said that it is not as important what I am doing but who I am surrounded by and this serves to prove that point. And though I do not think that I have been called to be a career retail employee for the mean time I will enjoy this positive environment that I have found myself in.
PS Never thought I would be able to say I folded a Honey Boo Boo t-shirt!
