today, one of my clients (wow, that’s formal, eh?) called me to say that the work that i had done for her impressed her. she was appreciative. she even went so far as to say that i do such an above and beyond job that she knew someone was going to “snatch me up” and that she would “hold onto me for as long as possible.” i told her that i wasn’t going anywhere, but that i wanted to do this work full-time, so i would be looking for a couple other clients. and then she begrudgingly said, “okay, i’ll tell my friends.”
how good did that make me feel? good enough to sit through dinner and hugs and chatting with the in-laws for hours and not lose my smile once.
see? i’m more than just a pretty thing.
