Hello Hello! Three days into December already! Before we know it, it will be Christmas. One good thing about reaching December is that I don’t have to see another Black Friday ad until next year. For that, I am definitely grateful! 😅. Let’s see what else is on today’s gratitude list.
Two Things I Am Grateful For
- As I was putting the finishing touches on a quantitative test questionnaire today, I felt very grateful that I still get to do the things I love for a living. About twenty years ago, I sat across from our Consumer Insights Manager at the time and was in awe. I decided there and then that I wanted to do what she did. It sounded fascinating, and I wanted to be as good at it as she sounded. I then attended my first focus group and later prepared for my first product quantitative test, and I was hooked. I knew that I wanted to be a Consumer Insights Manager, which is exactly what I am today. I was a product formulator at the time of making the decision. God is good!
- If you have been following my blog for the last two years, you will know all about the feral cat family that has adopted my son and me. One of my favourites is the youngest. I think she thinks my house is a thoroughfare as part of a game she seems to play. Every night, she cries at the window. I let her in. She runs straight to the front door for me to let her out. About 5 minutes later, there she will be… crying at the window once again. She is such a character. I am so grateful that her mother chose to trust us with her kittens. They bring a lot of joy into our home.
One Source of Joy
My simple pleasure for the day was savouring an ice cream at work. It was an Ola Choc Pie. It used to be my favourite as a kid. And yes, I should not be eating ice cream but life is for the living so why not spoil myself ever so often.
I will leave you with a quote from Brené Brown as a reminder to appreciate the moment you find yourself in.
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know in the comments what you are grateful for today.
Bye for now!
