Support again

I am becoming increasingly aware of how well supported I am, & how important that is to me.
For the people that are looking after me.

& I am thankful for the canteen & for the lunch culture we have, that we have a laugh at lunch.

& that we have the resources for the things we need, (husband & I).

Also thankful that I am a positive cheery person, & that I'm seeing that return.
Husband has made me hot chocolate, he spoils me :-)

Support

I know I'm blessed with the people around me, the sources of support I have available.

Husband is keeping me well cared for, & is being extra patient while I'm not right.  He's not the only one, workmate is also treating me more carefully, obviously sensing I need it.  Thanks :-)

Today I have pulled out the saxophone.  I rarely remember at a reasonable hour (there are young 'uns next year so I don't play late).  I keep forgetting how much fun it is, & then I get inspired to some of the other instruments I have lurking around the house.  Thankful I have the room to store all these whims.

& I got some cleaning & decluttering done.  Am feeling like I've had a productive day.  At the same time it's been relaxing, no pressure.  Just calmly getting things done.  Even done some yoga, feeling calm & relaxed.  Long may it last.

Heroes

• played a game at gaming club that I really enjoyed so I bought it to play with husband
• it works really well as a 2 player game (co-operative) & we're enjoying it
• it's a lovely way to spend time together, & we have some great conversations
• I love the shared hobbies we have, & that he takes me walkies
• that's great conversation time too
• Even though he's not a fan of tiger balm (not from tigers) he still massages it into my shoulder for me
• bacon!!
• husband puts a lot of effort into cooking for me
• people around me are kind & supportive

Fridays I'm in love

• I popped next door for a cuppa, am glad she was home & answered the door.
• We had a fun chat, I'm glad I have friends
• Everyone knows I'm messy & accepts me for who I am
• We work in jeans & T-shirts, I don't need to iron
• Husband came home early & we spent the evening playing heroes
• He's doing great at work, I love seeing him enthused.
• He's looking after me
• We went for a walk & I got my 10k steps
• I'm sleeping better

I'm back

I keep emerging, things keep being ok / on the bright side

Thank you to the people looking after me, keeping me going.  Husband is rubbing in the tiger balm for where I'm stiff.  I know he's not a fan but he does it for me anyway.

Have my tickets & presents ready for the weekend.  & the interview slots in next week.
Found my purse, & my book.
Am excited about the weekend.

Have my talk written for work, am excited about that too.
Got my first 30,000 steps badge,  had a fab weekend with friend.

Time, unhurried

A lazy, relaxing day.
Get places early at an easy pace, chill
wander round the park in the sun, was good to be outside in nature just ambling along
Got the car replaced, thankfully not much of a wait & there was wifi
plans made & booked for the weekend

Got my first!  All that time studying, those holidays I took - worth it
Now just finding more ways to chill for the evening, jobs done, nap time perhaps :-)

Enthusiasm

One of  my colleagues said she's disappointed I'm missing a meeting tomorrow - that she'll miss my enthusiasm.   I'm glad I have that reputation.
Also glad I am pro-active & knowledgeable in meetings.  I am building a solid reputation for myself. & making sensible, well-received suggestions.
Also she experienced the motivation jar & was very taken with it. Very apt sayings coming out of it.

I am reviewing my work achievements - I've done well with the opportunities they've been offered.  I have a lot of string examples for interviews.  & a confident positive manner to convey them.  I also have lots of support & encouragement around me.

Also my analysis worked so all's good in my project & I can  move onto something more interesting.   Get other hassles off my back.
