Monday Motivational

Greetings everyone!
This week's motivation comes from the story of Fred the Florist who mixed up orders but saved his business with his humor.
A new business location had just opened and the owner's business partner sent him flowers.
The owner was dismayed when he saw the note read 'Rest in Peace' attached to the beautiful arrangement. The angry business partner called up Fred the Florist, threatening to sue him.
Fred simply replied, 'Sir, I can imagine how upset you must be. Perhaps you could imagine this - somewhere at a funeral there are beautiful flowers with a note saying 'Congratulations on a new location.' Immediately both men started chuckling. His sense of humor had saved his business!
This week, let's remember to be humorous beyond admitting our mistakes when facing a tough situation. While there are certainly times where we must be serious in this field, remember…humor is a great tool for self-care!
Sincerely,
Your friends at Credo
