I'm berated, on occasions, for not posting everyday! Phew, the pressure of being what Billy Connelly described as "windswept and interesting", which was a funny until he sold out totally to advertise the National Lottery - grrrrrrr!
Quote from the Bridges of Madison County: Things change. They always do, it's one of the things of nature. Most people are afraid of change, but if you look at it as something you can always count on, then it can be a comfort.
Change. Piece of cake, right?
Yesterday was an amazing day. Waking up....again! Seeing Ned's play at school.
Coffee with a wonderful colleague - really stimulated me to think....
"Sometimes a cigar's just a cigar." Freud.
Men's group at lunchtime.
A business meeting in the afternoon - invested 2 hours + travel time, with no visible sign of return / benefit to my organisation until the guy made a throw away comment in the closing exchanges - turned the meeting into something very positive!
Late afternoon - tricky conversation with my sons teacher went really well - bought her a token of appreciation (a Chrysanthemum) and got a kiss this morning! Oh Matron! Errr, yeah, she's a MRS....so back off guys.
Spent some time with a new team member, and later my CEO. My organisation broke some difficult news yesterday. We are closing our Health Club. Some staff will be made redundant. The world has moved on and whereas once we were a successful sole-player in that market place, the club itself is now redundant commercially.
We can't subsidise losses for ever when we have so many young people to cater and care for. Sounds as though we are caring for those who will be disappointed by the news. Have to say there is a sense of relief that a decision has been taken, and a course set - in that sense the above quote applies. Praying for all those affected.
During a conversation in the evening a friend (who had been studying at home most of the day) said "wow, you met lots of people today!" I did. But hadn't appreciated the richness of the day until then. Cool! Was tired though...
Some days you live a little, die a little.
