Surprise-Rebecca

 Today I had a surprise text.  I had to read it a couple of times to see for sure who it said had left a message.  I have had and continue to have many people in my life named Rebecca. So, in my phone, I label them so I know which Rebecca is contacting me.

Today at work, my phone showed, Rebecca Sister.  I haven't spoken to her for some time with the exception of a text when her husband died.  It is really very interesting how people change and what brings on changes.  

We have certainly had some roller coaster emotions between us.  Her husband recently passed away and so when I saw her  name I thought maybe she wanted to talk of that.  I sent a return text and we spoke of life after our husbands are gone, what we are doing, and I guess just getting to know one another again.  I am glad she reached out to me and I hope it is not the only time we will talk.  It was comforting to hear from her that she is doing well and is in good financial shape. I was very pleasantly surprised and grateful for her contact.

In reference to some other 'Rebecca's, I have a co-worker that has the name and she works in our administration.

My former direct supervisor and friend is also Rebecca and she lives in St. George and fortunately she is still a very important person in my life and I am grateful for our friendship. She has suffered for a couple of years with cancer and stayed with Ambur and I in Las Vegas many times and I am grateful I could be of a little help to someone who is not good at taking help at all.  She has influenced my life in so many ways and has always built or at least tried to build my self confidence which is often low.  I think she is a great parent and gives amazingly to her children.  She will help anyone at anytime and she is a great problem solver. 

Another Rebecca that I have had (not currently) in my life's journey that I am grateful for is Rebecca Hernandez, a former supervisor at a clinic I worked at.  She was very keen at running the clinic and I loved working for and with her.  She had a way of making you feel a big part of the team.  She was smart, experienced and kind.  She treated patients the way she would treat family members and she was a great negotiator when there were problems.  I was blessed to know her.

I am lucky to have powerful, successful women in my life from family member to co-worker to Director, I am grateful for each and every one of them, each sent to my life for a very specific reason.
