Happier January: Despite the Occasional Disappointment
I've been trying to speak in a way that uplifts people today; I've realised this isn't easy, particularly when I have a few things to get off my chest, mostly about my own worries relating to potential desk stealing in the office when there is reduced capacity.
Really, I think my reluctance to challenge people who steal my booked desk comes from lack of self esteem, and not being used to getting my own way, even feeling bad if I get it at someone else's expense. I feel bad if I speed up and overtake a slow walker to get to a queue first, even if that person is some way away from the queue they are heading for.
Mum pointed out to me on our walk that I was bringing her down just with my worries about how my toilet wouldn't flush, which was something I needed to get off my chest.
We wanted to try out a new cafe in town, but found that it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we just went on a longer walk instead.
I have managed to log more than 3 hours for the Hydrow Strava Challenge, and two activities this week for the Joy of Winter and Laird Superfood challenges.
I had another meeting about Release Your Potential and the raffle this morning, and we are still deciding if we want to do a quiz night later, or alternatively organise a sponsored walk. We had a lot of discussion of raffle prizes, and whether or not we wanted to be put forward for the prizes ourselves (most of us didn't, including me; it would look a bit odd after all). There is speculation that we should all contribute towards the raffle prizes ourselves; I am not sure how many people will want to do that, though I am happy to.
The cafe replied to my e-mail; they are not happy to try and accommodate potentially 20 of us at the weekend, so it looks like we will go without a refreshment stop at the end unless only a small number of us want to go.
Now, what shall I do tonight?
