Oh Ms. Dearie!

I have been working at my job for the past two years, and I love it more and more every time I go in. I have been working at the Gap, and to be honest... I didn't think that I would love it as much as I do, but it's like I'm a Gapper for life! I have worked there every weekend since I have started, and my skills have grown significantly.
I was working there yesturday, during our Friends and Family Give and Get program, where you recieve 30% off The Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. It wasn't too busy, because it was so beautiful outside. It was a gorgeous day, however I found it strange the my customers were telling me things.. things about myself, or something they thought about me.
It is not uncommon for customers to compliment employees, or share stories, we try and build relationships with them. However I had, maybe three or four customers tell me that I sound like Blossom Dearie. First I thought to myself, "Who the heck are these people? And why do they ALL think alike?" But I looked her up, and I love the songs that she sang. Blossom was most popular in the 60's and had fabulous voice, smile, poise and look. I really like what I found out.
I guess what I am try to say is that.. everyday you can be surprised by what people tell you. You can learn and grow from the unexpected. I am very glad that I listened to her song, and learned to SMILE more. Because after listening to Ms. Dearie. I really look into account how people were complimenting me and what she would sing. I don't know , maybe I am crazy. But I thought I would share that story with you.

I have SO much more to say, I just need time to write it all down. I am becoming SO tired of all the things that are happening in my life, and all the stuff I have to do. It's a crazy life, but I like it. Thanks for reading! See ya'll later ! :]
