I started this week driving to work with a sense that I was going to be happy regardless of what came my way.
A few times I felt the urge to worry or get bogged down with fear or things that were out of my control. When those thoughts came into my head I actually reminded myself about being happy. It was sort of a …’whoa there – hey now – don’t sweat it’….sort of feeling. It was beautiful.
Other great things that happened this week were:
- Two colleagues I have worked with for almost ten years came to visit from Boston. I can count on my hands the number of times I have spent time with them in person, but I have worked, chatted, lived with them everyday for a long time. It is always refreshing just to be in the same location with them.
- I had a great few days with a colleague that came into town from Minnesota for an important project we are working together. It was enlightening and inspiring.
- We gave our presentation on Wednesday. I was really glad to get the critique, and think that the highlights of where we need to strengthen our design were spot on. I am excited to see where we can take it.
- We had our post mortem and grading. I am happy with how we did. I really liked that scoring technique, and I really appreciate our mentor’s (and all of the others) guidance.
- We have a huge amount of work to do for Project 5. I am anxious to get started.
