It’s Day 18 of my gratitude challenge. Today was a bittersweet day with sprinkles of sheer frustration. But I made it through once more. Definitely something for the grateful list and achievement list for today.
One Thing I am Grateful For
I won a Vaseline hat for my sister. I was pretty chuffed as I had promised her I would try and get her one like mine, and I did! Whoop whoop!
The Bitter and the Sweet
The company I work for is going through a significant change. Too many have lost their jobs and the team I work in has yet to find out what our new team structure will look like and how many of us will lose our seats. Today, I was told that two people whom I thoroughly enjoy working with will be leaving in January. My heart was very sore. The good news is that they jumped and were not pushed. The best news is that they are moving upwards and not sideways. I am so happy for both of them. I wish them all the best in their new roles.
At the same time, their team’s “change process” is essentially over, and everyone knows where they stand and what they will be doing in 2025.. We don’t. I feel like we are in the calm before the storm. One of the ladies was explaining to me what a rollercoaster ride the process was for them and how the anxiety can take its toll on you. I guess the new year is going to have a rough start for us, and we need to make sure we have a sound support system to help us through.
Change is never a bad thing, even though it may seem like it in the moment. I guess the important part is how we react to it. We need to remember that we can adjust the sails to stay on our chosen course.
Thanks for popping by. What are you grateful for today? Have you been through a similar experience? How did you manage it?
Bye for now.
