Dear Friends,
Attention - we all need it, but pretend we don’t crave it!
My parents used to say, if you are worthy of praise, other people will recognise it. It never occurred to them that other people might be otherwise engaged!
Thursday night, as "in vino veritas," I was grateful to hear others confess they too craved attention. Their parents must have been as clueless as mine!
I wonder which came first, validating people or validating parking tickets? What could people and parking tickets possibly have in common, to share the same verb?
Once I “parked" myself in my vocation, I finally found the right “other” people - my students, their parents and of course my colleagues.
I dedicate today’s posting to my dear colleague Lisa whose hospitality, generosity and need for validation resulted in an unforgettable night for the rest of us. We haven’t had a “wild" staff party in a long, long time.
Since one validation deserves another, maybe I’ll ask her to join my blog, assuming she is a reader!
Have a lovely Monday everyone!
