Quote: To have a fresh, inspiring experience, you don't necessarily have to do something you have never done before. You can simply do what you have done a thousand times in the past but do it differently. Or you can do it in exactly that same way, physically and materially but approach it from a new psychological angle. You can think different thoughts. You can foster different intentions. And, in doing so, you can set yourself delightfully free. Events this weekend soon should demonstrate this very clearly. A new perspective may yet transform the way you think about what you face.
It's completely in line with where my head has been at of late...knowing that it's my perspective and thought processes that can help or hurt...
My presentation is over. The amount of work to prep for it was extraordinary -- and the stress level was HIGH! The presentation went well (in mood, tone, etc) though it was largely because our CEO got sidetracked on the first few slides and didn't have time to poke at all of the rest of them. So, it was mild in mood but I didn't GET what I needed (in terms of $ and staffing) necessarily approved...more just understood. Depending on what happens over the next few weeks I'll either get what I need/want or not.
The VERY good news is that the program manager I was standing in for is back from maternity leave and will be taking over the program (I was doing two jobs -- the program management stuff isn't my real role here). That means that the very stressful stuff goes away! Yahoo.
H was absolutely wonderful with it all...I have to say I didn't really freak out from the stress at home (a 180! ) but this AM I was quiet and down and he was so wonderful and supportive.
The weekend should be good. We'll go hiking tomorrow and run some errands. Nothing planned for Sunday. h has a ton of homework to do so I'll probably putter around the house. I also made an appt for a manicure and pedicure tomorrow afternoon (made the appt about 5 minutes after the program review ended! a reward!) so that'll be fun.
SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY.
Only one class, though...so that should help.
