Geri Roskopf's Blog - What Have You Done?

[TowTimes]

From Geri Roskopf's Blog:

 

My granddaughter likes to play hide-and-seek, and as I was trying to find a place to hide, I noticed that under the kitchen counter, marker drawings were scribbled all the way around the island counter top.

 

My first thought was, “Oh no little one, what have you done?”

 

Because the scribbling was under the counter, you couldn’t really see what she had done, but I knew dad would not be happy. I’m sure that in her mind, she was being creative.

 

The beginning of a new year allows us to reflect on the past year in many ways. Don’t we all make promises or resolutions to do something better? I was reminded of this by the lyrics to the song “So This is Christmas” by John Lennon:

 

So, this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun.

 

As I thought about what I did in 2022, I didn’t have an “oh no” reaction like when I discovered what my granddaughter had done, but I had to take a really good look to recall what exactly I did get done.

 

Were the goals and objectives for my company met? What about family, friends, employees, customers, strangers and even myself? Did I meet all of my, and their, expectations? In a time of need of others, did I take the time to help?

 

Sometimes looking back helps us focus on looking forward. This is a good thing. It’s good to reflect and be energized to bring more into our lives. More love, joy, hope and peace.

 

Life in the crash lane, as they say, can be crazy. Hoping you don’t have an “oh no, what have I done” moment this year, but I do hope you look at what you accomplished and say with pride: look at what I’ve done!
