It’s day 17, and yes, you have guessed it: I have gotten bored with writing the same heading every day. It was good to be back at work today. I was surprised that so many people were still in the office. I guess most go on leave next week as well.
One Thing I Am Grateful For
I was pretty proud of myself today. I did something that I generally would never do. I had missed a deadline to apply for an internal job post as I had captured the deadline incorrectly in my calendar. I had seen the post last week and was really busy at work, so I added the deadline to my diary so I wouldn’t forget. `As luck would have it, in my haste, I captured the wrong date. Usually, I would just accept that I missed the deadline, berate myself for the next few minutes, and leave it at that. Today, I decided to take a risk and email the HR person to ask if I could still apply. She didn’t say yes, but she did say she would speak to the hiring manager, so I guess there is still hope. I am very grateful that the door might still be open. I’ll leave it in God’s hands from here. He knows the plans He has for me.
My moment of pride and joy was seeing how well my team has progressed in implementing a new digital system. They have quietly worked in the background, and the global digital team acknowledged their work today. I was so happy for them.
I started listening to an audible original book this morning called Mastering the Skill of Reinvention by Pamela Mitchell. One of the tasks she gives you is to capture four things you have achieved at the end of the day. They don’t have to be big things. They can be little things like having one less cup of coffee for the day. I think I will start adding this to my end-of-day diary session. It’s a great way to capture your growth and boost your confidence.
That’s it from me today. What have you been grateful for today or what have you achieved? Thanks for popping by.
Bye for now.
