Happy Labor Day !
Hoping you've taken some time off this holiday weekend to relax and recharge.
I've been both working and playing!
Since we've had so much rain, it's been tough to get paint crews to a project. A lifetime design client is expecting her second child in a couple of weeks so wanted to get this taken care of before delivery. My crew was willing to step into it this holiday
weekend. Blessed with awesome contractors!
And already replied to a host of my (TCC) Cocktail Club members who ROCKED their weeks knowing they'd be enjoying family and friends this long weekend.
And on the play side, I've got a couple of blind dates this weekend, WISH ME LUCK! (I promise to report on the results next week, ☺)

HOW DO YOU TACKLE YOUR WORK?
~ Edgar Guest~
How do you tackle your work each day?
Are you scared of the job you find?
Do you grapple the task that comes your
way
With a confident, easy mind?
Do you stand right up to the work ahead
Or fearfully pause to view it?
Do you start to toil with a sense of dread
Or feel that you're going to do it?
You can do as much as you think you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young man,
There's little for you in store.
For failure comes from the inside first,
It's there if we only knew it,
And you can
win, though you face the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it.
Success! It's found in the soul of you,
And not in the realm of luck!
The world will furnish the work to do,
But you must provide the pluck.
You can do whatever you think you can,
It's all in the way you view it.
It's all in the start that you make, young man:
You must feel that you're going to do it.
How do you tackle your work each day?
With confidence clear, or dread?
What to yourself do you stop and say
When a new task lies ahead?
What is the thought that is in your mind?
Is fear ever running through it?
If so, just tackle the next you find
By thinking you're going to do it.
