Energized by change

Maybe for only one reason - I did so much, none of it would be associated with weekend fun activities, and felt amazingly energized, and almost repeated everything on Sunday!

I slept in (which means I woke up after 7 am), and spent an hour thinking about what I can do with the day ahead. Loaded the dishwasher, did the only load of laundry that did not get done last week, watched some training videos for work (yes, I did that!), and when a friend asked me if I had been to the gym already, I completely panicked, and went to the gym. Wait, there is more - I decided that I could not be bothered to cook after returning from the gym, so I cooked fried rice (my recipe, of course), and then I went to the gym.

And before I put away the laptop for the weekend, I realized that I am a little behind with my goal of 2 to 3 posts per month. So now is as good time as any to write a post, and achieve half that goal, too!

In conclusion, I had an extremely busy, exhausting, a little bit scary and overwhelming week. I felt great, and then I felt like a fish out of water, and then I felt great again, and well, the cycle continued. But at the end of the week, I felt energized. The energy comes from loving what I do, and being surrounded by people who know how to be human.

Change always energizes me! It is scary, overwhelming but I love the challenges and opportunities that change brings. As I write this, some of my former colleagues, who are also my friends, are going through a major change in their life. A change they did not choose, and a change that will impact them in a very challenging way.

To my friends - it is easy for me to say from where I am sitting, but sometimes life offers you opportunities in unanticipated ways. You are all such amazing human beings, with so much to offer. People who choose to loose you are not winners.

Stay strong, stay happy, and good luck with everything!
