Can you believe that it has been a week already - I'm suppose to make sure to get this done.  (Can you tell that I'm still struggling with a personal blog?) Never mind!  I can do this!

Constantly, I am learning things when our users call in with questions, that can be used both in my 'work life' and my 'other life'.  Like - don't overlook the little things.  Just this morning someone wrote in about not being able to receive their e-mail.  Well, when it all comes down to it - they had added a space at the end of their e-mail address. One tiny little space. You and I don't see this little 'space', but computer programs recognize it as a part of the address and are unable to deliver the mail because it isn't the 'real' address.  We say - but, that's just a little thing.  Yup!  It surely is. However, it makes the difference in the delivery or non-delivery of a message.

Well, as I was pondering this little point, it's the same in my "other" life.  Little things do make a difference. Like being off 1/8 of an inch in a seam on my quilting shouldn't be a big deal.  But, on 8 seams - all of a sudden I'm off an entire inch.  Not a good thing!  When I bake a cake and the recipe requires a 375 degree oven and I use a 450 degree oven to get it done quickly. . . Not a good thing!  When I don't take the time to be kind to someone. . . Not a good thing!  

At any rate, whether at work or at play -  it's all those little things that add up to BIG GOOD THINGS in my entire life. Hmm - didn't mean to get carried away!
