Last week at work, I received an e-mail from a business associate. This associate is NOT someone that I have ever met in person. In actuality, this was the first correspondence that I have ever had with her.
The e-mail was in response to a business question that I was asking.
Her response back to me was signed off with “Have a Blessed Day”.
What people choose to say or not say in their personal e-mails is their business. However, I don’t feel that this was an appropriate sign off for business correspondence.
Thoughts?

Good or Bad?
Yesterday was our 32nd month LID Anniversary.
I forgot - TOTALLY forgot. Not until I was reading Dolores and Shawn's blog did I even realize that yesterday was the day.
I have been thinking about it. I am not sure if forgetting our LID anniversary is a good thing or a bad thing.
I will have to ponder muchly about it and well hey - I have about 60 more to go so missing one or two along the way shouldn't be a big deal.
WHOO HOO - we (after almost 3 years) are 1/3 of the way there!!
Apparently I am a bit bitter tonight!
