Hey all Happy Monday.

I have to share this story with you, it will put a smile on your face.

I work with 4 gentlemen who come from Russia and the Ukraine. They speak varying degrees of English, but enough that we all can get along very well. Our least english speaking co-worker brought in a big cake today. I asked him why as it is not his birthday (seems their tradition is to supply cake for their birthdays unlike here in North America we supply employees with a cake or a lunch or whatever) So today when I asked about the cake he said "we have small glad in life so I brought cake, my 1 year anniversary working with the company"

Isn't that cool, some one truly appreciating the employment he has. I dunno I found it heart warming, a small glad

Just my musing for a monday.

ah just things like that that make me thankful for a lot of things in life. And it is an eye opener to realize what some of us have compared to what others have.

Just a wee inspiration for the start of the week.
