Today I am thankful for my job and coworkers. I have worked at Sommerville & Associates since August of 2002 and really feel like it has been a Godsend to me. I have been there since before I finished my undergrad degree and have grown from part time receptionist to CPA and professional over that time. I am thankful that the majority of our clientele and my coworkers are Christians and we can encourage each other and pray for each other on a daily basis. Because our primary practice is helping religious nonprofits with tax compliance and IRS filings, I feel like it is not just my job, but my ministry. Yes, there are tax deadlines and stressful times, but for the most part I really love what I do.
I also am thankful that my employer is very understanding and willing to work with me and is pretty flexible as far as when I work and being able to get off for holidays and family priorities and such. I know that if something comes up personally that demands my attention, I will not get yelled at if I need to deal with something and need some time off. With that comes the understanding that the work will get done and as a team we will work together to help each other as much as we can. I am thankful that I am able to work part time for these first 4 weeks with the kids in order to get things settled and help everyone adjust to the new normal. If I didn't have the mornings to do laundry and dishes and take care of other errands right now, I would be even more crazy than I already am. Honestly, I really didn't think I'd need to take so much time off (because I obviously had never done this before and thought I was Wonder Woman or something), but I am grateful that my employer made me. Because I really need this time right now. For the sake of my sanity and the well-being of my family.
Thank you God for your many blessings!
