Dare2Diva is Grateful

I started this morning off by going out west and meeting my piano student for her exam. She got an A and played really well. That was early and the coffee I consumed just didn't cut it so I headed home, my sister paid a visit and then I had an amazing nana nap. I know I am not a fan of calling it a nana nap but more of a kindy kip but I felt like an absolute nana today. It was a good kip and yet I am still tired. Not to worry, I am baby sitting tonight so it will be a quiet one, once the kids go to sleep. Universe 1) I am grateful my student played well, was recognised for that and my teaching was recognised. It is always good to know somebody else thinks you do a good job. 2) I am grateful for the coffee I had this morning and while it didn't cut it, it woke me up enough to function. 3) I am grateful for the kid free visit from my sister today. 4) I am grateful for the massive nana nap I was able to indulge in this afternoon. 5) I am grateful I have the opportunity to s

It has been a very weird, strange, odd kind of day today. It started off with me hearing something completely unexpected (and just what I needed to hear) and just increased in the 'this is all too weird of me to handle' stakes. When I say weird etc, it wasn't a bad day at all but it was one of those days where I was wondering about what was going to happen next. It is also strange because my schedule has been thrown out of wack and I didn't realise today was Friday. Now that was a very nice surprise. Universe 1) I am grateful for the sleep in I was able to have today because of my Dr's appointment. 2) I am grateful for a chat and the subsequent speech which was just what I needed to hear. It felt almost as good a really loving hug. 3) I am grateful I got to work in time to attend an important meeting. 4) I am grateful for the lunch partner I had today an the chat we had. That was on a completely different line than the earlier chat and it was quite amusing. 5

I mixed things up today and made it my teaching night. Not such a great idea because this has been a crappa of a week but some good things happened today. The traffic was really good both ends of the day, I was left alone for most of it, and I got half of a big report completed. To add to the bonus, the day went quickly. Universe 1) I am grateful that I got to have a small sleep in....well compared to the past few days anyway 2) I am grateful the traffic was good for me to and from work today. 3) I am grateful that I am able to each chocolate and drink ginger beer as my lunch and not care 4) I am grateful I didn't have many people requesting things from me. I really wasn't in the mood for that. 5) I am grateful I got half of the report done that I have been putting off. Blessings

Today was yet another day that I will never get back. Training day 2 and I have had more fun at the dentist and learnt more from the Telebubbies for god's sake. No training tomorrow so I am back in the office and I am looking forward to it. Universe 1) I am grateful that I didn't crash my car to or from work today. I snoozed off a couple of times and I had trouble keeping my eyes open. 2) I am grateful that I didn't get soaked in the rain today. 3) I am grateful I got to leave training early today. 4) I am grateful I have been given an exemption from a training day next week. 5) I am grateful I am home alone for a while. I am heating up some chips/fries in the oven and I will serve them with a soft boiled egg. Yum. I couldn't be stuffed with anything else for dinner. Blessings

I can't believe I survived. Training aka 'death by PowerPoint' was incredibly boring but it was a day out of the office. I am so grateful I found my way there without panic and that there were some friendly faces. I then finished the day with a meeting which didn't finish until 6:45. A very long day indeed. Universe 1) I am grateful I left home early because the traffic was really bad. 2) I am grateful I found my way ok and didn't get into too much of a panic 3) I am grateful there was still parking available when I got there. 4) I am grateful I had some friendly faces in the training session with me. 5) I am grateful I finished my day with a meeting with a fabulous business stakeholder. I am also grateful that the additional 2.5hrs that I worked today wasn't a struggle at all. This means I can put those hours over to Friday and leave early. Blessings

Today has been a very strange day. Firstly, it hasn't felt at all like a Monday and I kept checking my calendar. I have had a really busy day, thanks to an early start and early meeting and then I got home and it seemed a lot earlier than it was. I have been completely out of wack all day. This isn't a bad thing though because the day went quickly and was rather painless, apart from some rather painful people that I have had to deal with today. I was also surprised by a visit from my younger sisters entire family. The kids were driving her crazy so she said get your shoes on, we are going for a walk. It was a nice surprise. Universe 1) I am grateful that I got myself off to work nice and early today. 2) I am grateful I was able to prepare for my meeting nice and early which meant I didn't have to rush. 3) I am grateful that my early morning meeting was with somebody that I really love working with. 4) I am grateful I was able to go and get coffee this morning in peace

Wow. Yet another big sleep day. I still need more sleep but I will have an early night and that should keep me going until next weekend. My younger sister, youngest niece and 2 nephews came over today which was nice. The kids made biscuits with Poppy, even the 2yr old and he had ball. I love that the kids get to learn cooking from poppy. They have a special connection with him through cooking which is wonderful. Memories and skills to last a life time. 1) I am grateful for the sleep in I had again today. 2) I am grateful it was much cooler today. 3) I am grateful my sister and the kids came for a visit. 4) I am grateful to witness the enjoyment of the kids and Pa while they were cooking today. 5) I am grateful it is still early so I can get everything ready for tomorrow and then get to bed early.
