June

Have you ever woken up feeling fresh but not as enthusiastic to go to work? I did this morning and it was a hard position to be in because I am usually keen to go to work on Mondays.

So I gave myself a prep talk. And I prayed. I decided (a) that I could continue dragging my feet along or (b) that I could appreciate the challenges that awaited me and trust that I will get through what needed to be done, however tedious or plenty, with healthy breaks in between. So I went with the latter.

Which is why the drive to work is so important to me. From the point where I step out of my house to the point where I park my car at work, I prepare myself mentally for work. I look around me and take in all the beauty that nature has to offer. The soft rays of the sun slowly building its way through the clouds. The majestic colours of the sky. The cool winter morning air.

And I smile.

It also helps to have such a good group of people [understanding, supportive, solution based, as eager and friendly] to work with. I am motivated to do my best when I am with them.

I admit, I do have my moments and it is then when I have to reassess my priorities and work out the best plan of action from there.

But I completely wore myself out today. Got home, ate and fell asleep on the couch. I was so exhausted. I hope that I can maintain my energy levels tomorrow because I need to continue packing for my move next Tuesday. And spend more quality time with my mom and niece.

Here's to reaching the mid of June.
