Hello there! I have to admit that today I am tired. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, though, and thankfully, it is clearly not a train. Two more sleeps until Friday!!
Two Things I am Grateful For
- Around this time last I was so excited because I had been invited to lead a squad in the business. It was quite an honour and I was so nervous. Today I heard that my squad would be dissolved. I am really nothing unhappy about it. I am grateful. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead an amazing team and to learn from them. I am also grateful for the opportunity away. Leading two teams was no joke. It took it’s toll on me. I take my hat off to Senior managers and directors who have to lead more than one team. It is an interesting challenge.
- My son received his school report today. It was not a pretty sight, and I was disappointed to see his marks. However, he did pass, and for that, I am grateful. Two more years of high school to go, and then I will be the mother of a university student!
One Source of Joy
I took my friend’s son off her hands for a short while at work today. School is out, and she didn’t have an au pair for him today, so she had to bring him to work. He is pretty shy, but he knows me, so we took a walk to the Zen Garden to watch the Koi swim and have a look around. Unfortunately, the monkeys were out in the garden, so we left sooner than I had hoped we would need to. They scare us. I had forgotten how much energy a four-year-old had. It was challenging keeping up with him…lol. It was great to spend time with him and to pay forward helping a fellow mum out in the office. I had so many people help me when my son was little, and I was forced to bring him into the office.
Thanks for popping by. I hope you enjoyed the read. Let me know what you are grateful for today in the comments.
Bye for now.
