I know religion is one of those topics that's typically forbidden in the workplace, but there actually is a tie to CurrentMarketing here. Stick with me.

I recently read Squire Rushnell's "When God Winks at You." It's all about daily occurrences many folks label coincidences, which Rushnell refers to as "Godwinks."

Many of you know we have a few office dogs, one of which is Mona, our fuzzy Golden Doodle. I recently experienced one of Mona's "Godwinks."

We all know how it is when you have one of those mornings when everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.  Recently, I had one of those days.  As I prepared for our morning jolt, I felt a sense of, well, blah - so blah that I wasn't even in the mood to do my expected daily outburst of "Good morning, CurrentMarketing!!!!"

As I sat in jolt and listened to the team discuss their daily tasks, I had determined that I wasn't having a good day, so I didn't feel like talking, let alone saying "Good morning."

I was looking down at my notepad and noticed Mona walking towards me. As her tail was wagging back and forth, she looked up and in my head, I heard her say clearly, "Good morning, Mel!"  She came over so I could pet her head and assure her that I knew what she was trying to tell me.  It was like the clouds parted and I knew it was going to be a wonderful day.

As my turn came up to talk about my tasks for the day, I yelled out "Good morning, CurrentMarketing!" The best part about saying that each morning is that I get 25-30 simultaneous responses back – "Good morning, Mel!" What a daily joy!

Was it a coincidence that Mona approached me in the morning jolt? Nope - it was a Godwink.  She very seldom visits with me in jolt because she is busy playing with Molly (our other office canine). On this day, though, I think she sensed I was not having a good day and I needed that extra boost as a reminder of what a blessing life really is.

We have a great team here at Current.  When you're having a bad day, believe me, someone knows, even if you don't wear it on your sleeve. We are all each others cheerleaders and support team! When you can come to work with such wonderful and fun people, you can't help but start the day off with "Good Morning, CurrentMarketing!"

Every once in a while, you might even have to include a cartwheel, toe touch and high five!
