I LOVE YOU

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love you!"

"Wow...why did you say that?"

"Well, you are very special to me.  I can't wait to see you. And when we are together, I am the happiest person on earth."

"That is so sweet.  But what brought this on?"

"Well, I was watching a World War II movie the other day.  This guy couldn't get the nerve up in person to say that he loved his girlfriend, so he wrote a letter to express how much he cared for her, and that he loved her with all his heart."

"What happened?"

"Tragically, the guy died in battle the next day after he wrote the letter, and the letter was finally delivered ten years later after the war had ended."

"How sad..."

"For over ten years, she wondered if he really loved her.  Well, I don't want you to think for one moment more, or for ten years no less, that I love you."

"But you are in no danger like the soldier.  The only danger as an accountant is that you may spill your Diet Coke on your keyboard, or you may get a paper cut on one of your financial statements."

"Very funny.  The movie reminded me that life is fleeting, and if you feel strongly about a person, you should express it now before it's too late."

"You are so right.  And by the way, I love you too!"
 
Until Next Friday,

THE VALUE OF A WAVE

THE VALUE OF A WAVE

One day last month, I was doing some errands with my little girls, Lauren and Veronica.  And during our trip, we passed “Mr. Waver’s Fruit Stand.” Now, “Mr. Waver’s” was not actually the name of the fruit stand.  It’s just the name we gave it. For you see, each time a car would pass, “Mr. Waver” would raise his right hand and with an open palm facing the car, he would move his hand side to side doing his best to make eye contact with the driver.      

Well, we were approaching “Mr. Waver’s Fruit Stand” fully expecting the traditional wave.  As we drew closer, we looked, made eye contact and to our astonishment ... no wave. No wave at all.

As I travel, I take a great deal of time to walk and read the many items posted and listed in the back of the house.  Often times, I find inspiring quotes posted on the walls or on plaques in individual offices. The following quotes are particularly inspiring, and I wanted to have the opportunity to share them with you.  It is my hope that one or two quotes may provide you with the inspiration or sense of purpose that great accomplishment and teamwork can achieve.
