P.S. This little figure stands on my desk... she's only about 3 inches high and was given to me by my last team when I moved to my current project, which we knew was going to be a challenging one. She has a secret slip of paper tucked inside her that says "hold onto the smile in your heart. we'll miss you! love, J, T and C xxx"
This week, looking at her reminded me to try and do that.

P.P.S. And I must practice saying "no!" more.

So nice! My coworkers recently surprised me with a thoughtful gesture, and I understand how it can make all the difference in the world! So often they just get lumped along with "work" in my brain, but they are wonderful people and I need to remember that more often.

Enjoy the great colors. Needed something like this. Great post, by numbering everything, you made me smile.

Oh my goodness - that sounds like an insane week! But now it is over and the weekend, with numbers that sound rather more sane, is here! Enjoy it and get restored ...
