The Turning

Kay Johnson

The beautiful maple trees in our town are dropping the burnt orange and deep crimson velvet jewels that graced them just a few short days ago. Cold winds and cold rains have gathered them to the lap of Mother Earth and spindly stark branches are showing through. Storage facilities across the country are filling up. Their tenants have put their summer dreams and memories to sleep until the warm winds blow again.

Here at PhoneSmart we are keeping busy with special projects to help our customers with training through our Secret Shops and Evaluations. We are doing follow up calls for some stores and working leads from many sources to help our customer stores maintain income flow. There are so many projects to help our client stores increase their profits. This month PhoneSmart will celebrate a landmark 5-year anniversary.

Our representatives are planning for feasts of Thanksgiving and making plans our December Holy celebrations and gatherings of family. Some will be traveling and others hosting guests. In our community charitable organizations, houses of worship, schools are all participating in programs to share the bounty with those less fortunate.

There is a chill in the air but our hearts are warm. Soon we will be talking with store managers across the country through our “Manager Buddy Calls”. This has been a year of challenges for some of our “sister” facilities. There has been so much loss and human suffering. We are looking to the horizon of a new year with hope that there will be better news in the months ahead and that the recovery will be strong and complete.

As a nation we have rallied to the aid of our families and communities. Once again, we have shown that we are “One Nation”. There is no challenge that we cannot meet together.

Here in Missouri there will soon be colder days with frost and snow sparkling in the sun. On a clear, cold night when snow lies on the ground it reflects the ground lights back to the heavens and midnight is as bright as day. On those nights “all is calm, all is bright”. We gather our hopes and dreams; hopes for a year filled with Peace and dreams of the return of our loved ones fighting in foreign lands. We wish for peace but stand ready for any trouble that comes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kay
