Life’s been pretty stressful and busy these days, but yesterday I had a really good day, and thought I’d memorialize it here. I’m just grateful and appreciated it that things went well for me this one day, especially after weeks and months of slog, stress, frustration and feeling helpless to change anything (most of it is work-related but that’s how the corporate world is these days). I’m probably burned out.
So here are four wonderful things that made my day yesterday:
- I was featured for a volunteering award, which is a great honor! It’s nice to be recognized for the long volunteering hours I’ve put in over the years 😊
- I presented at my company’s office all hands yesterday and our CEO was visiting, so I got to present to him! He remembered my name afterwards so that was cool. Lots of people engaged in my presentation and told me I did a great job, definitely glad to have pulled it off smoothly 😅
- My client told me he heard from another stakeholder that I’m “brilliant” and that they should keep me on the project! Love it when I get unsolicited compliments, frankly I thought I had offended someone at the client so super relieved to hear it was a compliment instead 😂
- I got some lovely Portuguese egg tarts from Holy Nata and they’re so delicious! I had two with cinnamon sprinkled on top, yummy!! Love it when I enjoy good food and can share with my hubby ❤️
That’s it for now. Remember no matter how tough life seems, step back and take a deep breath. Appreciate what you do have, the little things in life, and maybe that can help you feel grounded and happy again.
Thought I’d share this song by IU since that fits the theme of today’s post - it’s one of my favorites and always perks me up when I’m down!
