monday

So Monday...busy day...so much happening at work...but i managed to sort out the problems that I faced at the end of last week and move forward from them.  Apparently though my view of the situation  was slightly different to the view of the other person's. But not to worry, I've set the precedent for the way forward and *fingers crossed* as we're moving in the next week or so, I'll hopefully not have to sit next to the person. Yahoo!  I'm so grateful that things turned out ok!

So what else happened...did a group class tonight...only four of us. My friend G was unwell which is not good...hopefully she's better next week.  I know she did enjoy it.  I'm hoping that once I get my qualifications I'll be in a position to run a few classes like this.  It will certainly help with cashflow, that's for sure...saving for my o'seas trip....going to Japan next March and then hopefully in late 2011 / early 2012 off to Europe and the UK for a little bit.

So now have had dinner and waiting for the washing to finish so i've got pants to wear to work and A's jacket is clean to wear to work.  So looking forward to sleep tonight as I've got a big day tomorrow.

Well the machine's just beeped...so it's bye from me for now!

Making a change

So I'm going on holidays for nine weeks from 13 September 2010.  Now this isn't just any holiday...I'm actually going to studying full time for eight of the nine weeks that i'll be off work.  I'm excited but at the same time a litte scared but I know this is the right thing to do.

I've lost in excess of 70 kg over the last few years and I want to give back some of what I've been given and one way I believe I can do this is to assist and guide people in becoming empowered to make a change in their life for the good! 

So 120 days to go...or approx 80 working days until that exciting new adventure begins :-)

a uhah moment!

So here I am again...at a cross roads...no sure where it will or will not lead... I've been dealing with some changes at work...although they may seem minor to most, I'm struggling with this! But on Friday I had somewhat of an uhah moment! I realised that in all of this I failed to hold the mirror up to myself ad examine my behaviour, my reactions, action and attitude.

So it's been a little scary doing this but i found that my compassion and respect has been lacking for some people in some situations.  This is not unfamiliar territory to me...I've been here before and made it through the other side. I realise I have little respect for the person or their position and this is what I struggle with.  I'm seeking support and advice and I've got some serious reading to do...I've found this is the best way to seek ways to approach this. I intend to do some things to increase my personal abilities in this area as i don't think this is the last time I have to deal with situations such as this.

So my goals I want to move forward with in a broad context:

• Demonstrate respect, compassion and patience to all people!
• Spend time being gracious for each and every thing every day!
• Spend more time expending energy and increasing endorphin and serotonin production, by regularly exercising!
• Finally spend time writing, reflecting and blogging!

Well that's it for now!
