Driving home from class the other night, I heard Elton John's "Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters" on the radio. Although I'd heard it many times, that was the first time I ever listened to the words. It's one of those songs that immediately makes you feel sentimental and nostalgic...I thought, "You know what, life is good and I'm blessed by amazing people." Cruising home on a surprisingly calm Roosevelt Boulevard, I had a beautiful little moment.
This evening I had a similar moment when I received a card in the mail from dearly-missed friends. I doubt they knew this, but the timing was perfect. Today I was (finally!) officially certified as a teller. What does this mean? Well friends, it means I can have my own drawer/window to run transactions out of, instead of observing others and working out of their drawer. Now I have to work for realsies.For a moment there I seriously doubted myself and wondered if I was cut out to be a teller, mainly because I was intimidated by the certification process. I got over it, did the best I could and apparently that was enough. I got high fives all around from my coworkers, and great feedback. Coming home to this Flashdance themed card (pictured above), which says "You've got the will. You've got the skill" and sings "What A Feelin'" when opened, brought quite a smile to my face (and warm fuzzies in general). I'm so lucky to have "just because" thoughtful friends.

Your "just because friends" are pretty lucky to have you too. Congrats, my full-fledged teller friend! Wish I could see your smiling face at my bank!
I see now that you have a blog... pwned! =)
Glad you liked the card...we had fun picking it out at Hallmark. :) Eunice was a little unclear about the occasion, but was happy to sign it anyway. We miss you!
