how nice to be able to reflect on life and say that...bar the incident at the dry cleaner's earlier, but i'm not going to let that mar an otherwise positive post (and day!)
so work is great - and i cannot remember the last time i said that and really meant it - and not to imply that i don't tell the truth, or that i say things are good when they are not, but they haven't been this good for a very long time...possibly ever
big call right? and i did love my business when i ran it, at least until it got lonely, or too difficult or became apparent that to make money i also had to sell...
so work is great! my 10 year old nephew asked me if i loved my job last week and when i told him i did, he asked me why! and as i reflected on my reasons (which i'll share here), this job seems to tick many of the boxes that perhaps i didn't realise were important to me...(gotta love getting older, and wiser)...
so the things i love about this job are this:
- location
- my team
- my boss
- level at which i'm operating so i feel i have some autonomy
- my peers
- the job itself
- the location
- the industry
- oh, and the regular pay
bit like my tennis tonight - maybe having just gotten cranky at the dry cleaner's is good prep for tennis, coz i was good tonight, and i mean GOOD! took 6 points off my coach in a first to 7 hit out...not bad, even if i do say so myself...
the crap of the last year seems to have finally been worked through and nicely packaged in a box and put to the back of the wardrobe (metaphorically speaking)...i feel engaged in my job and in my life, i thoroughly enjoyed my first weekend at home in about 6 weeks, loving my friends, love the fam, enjoying my tennis, wondering when i can to New York next...
all good!
so on that note, bon soir xxx
ps thinking of my good friend daniel tonight, whose lovely girlfriend tina was killed in bali 9 years ago today...thinking of you dan...xx
