Three Good Things
Yes, it's February and I am continuing to post these. I definitely need good things, and I suspect you do too. (Tomorrow I am either doing a 15 hour working day or I'm going to fail to get on a visit entirely, due to weather/travel badness, and I can do nothing to affect this. So I'm focusing elsewhere.)
1. Today I got to my visit 30 minutes early, and there was a little sunshine, so I stood around outside enjoying the brief blue skies and the flurries of sparrows and goldfinches which were unexpectedly around the car park I was standing in.
2. Today's main visit was expected to be a bit of a downer, a complicated situation. But actually, they've turned the corner, and it was a pleasure to hear them talking positively about the future.
3. And today ended with a bonus, presenting a certificate for a service that's already been successful at my programme. I don't get to do these often, since we tend to send bigwigs. But this was quite a casual one, just dropping in to the service and having a few photos taken while congratulating everyone. It's an interesting location I've not visited before and they gave me a quick tour as well. A happy note to end the working day.
