Cherish Dear Colleagues

By Linda Ferguson on April 24, 2012

I recently received an email from my mom saying a dear colleague of hers had a heart attack and was in failing health.  I was truly saddened by this news.  This woman had become an aunt of sorts; she was a long-time family friend, having worked with my mom for more than 30 years.

It is a blessing and rare gift indeed to have precious colleagues who become old friends.  Perhaps you worked with someone years ago and you still stay in touch, sharing news of your life. Maybe you have colleagues you socialize with outside of work.  Perhaps you even have a few dear colleagues who are old family friends now.

This week’s blog post is a reminder of all the friendships you have at work.  Share your gratitude for those friends, especially for your particularly close colleagues.

  • Tell them how they have touched and supported your life as well as your work.
  • Call them up to recount a few stories, share some laughs, let them know how much they helped you.

It’s never too late to let someone know how much you care about them and how much they mean to you.

P.S.  We celebrate Administrative Assistants day this week, so please take time to thank them for their support.
