(For Wednesday August 6) It sounds a little weird but today I was grateful for apparently being missed in the office while I was in NYC. I really don't know why I was missed but as soon as my computer warmed up this morning I had an IM expressing happiness at my return, I got a long hard hug from someone else when I went to get my mail, and I had several, apparently sincere, "Welcome Back, you were missed!"  ????  It confuses me, I'm not all that worth missing but it also made me feel grateful that I might be living out my mission of love and grace in the lives of others.  I am positive there were some people who did NOT miss me and you know what?  That's okay.  It might have been a mutual feeling, even though I don't necessarily like everyone I still try to practice courtesy and kindness with everyone.  I'm not always successful but I try.  So today I felt grateful for being missed, which really does sound a little weird!
