Happy Saturday, C Area!
Now that I have power and WiFi service, I can send out a quick note to you all, expressing my gratitude for your patience as I navigate the day to day struggles, triumphs, challenges, and learning opportunities that have presented themselves to me these past few months.
Coming to the center from a terminal environment was a big change for me, made easier by your kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand. I continue to be reminded of things I maybe already should have known, and embrace the newness of the things that I get to grow in.
Reflecting on this Eve of Christmas, I hope that regardless of your circumstance, you take an opportunity to give thanks to those around you who help to make your world whole, who support and lift you up, who help you grow, and who ground you in your journey through life. We are very much pulled in a lot of external directions as a family member, employee, care taker, etc., and this can create a lot of internal pulls as well. Know that I appreciate all you do for our area and those who we serve.
A Merry Happy Holiday (whatever one it is in your home) to you all, and I look forward to what 2023 has in store for us (including our 5.15% pay raise!). We have a lot of change on the horizon and I hope you join me in celebrating the many upcoming life events we will get to share in.
Festively,
Crumbley
