Three Things Thursday

1. I have been at my job for nearly 13 years.  I really enjoy my job and the people I work with.  I was working with a surgeon I have worked with for the last 13 years.  I don't work with him on a consistent basis, probably less than once a month.  I have always liked working with him as he is patient, caring and easy to work with but he did something I didn't expect.  I got such a nice compliment from him on how glad he was to be working with me and I was always so efficient.

Kind of really make my day. 

Then yesterday a girl I work with texted me to thank me for giving her advice on her workout and diet stuff. 

Made me think about just how nice it is to know you are appreciated.  So my goal is to let at least one person a day know how much I appreciate them in my day and in my life.

2. It's COLD out there.  

3. Running... haven't been.  In my defense it's been really nasty outside and now it is sunny but with a wind chill of -26 it really isn't even that tempting right now.  It is supposed to warm up to 18 degrees on Monday next week I will reconsider it then. except it will be really windy.  BOO  Until next week I am keeping it inside on the elliptical since I don't have treadmill and cross training.  I mapped out a couple of old Bodyrock.tv workouts to do today, by old I mean from when Zuzanna was still the host. My favorites are from mid to late 2010 and early 2011.

Do you make it a point to tell others you are grateful for them?  I am working on it!

  3. That is awesome and sadly, rare to be in a job you love for so long. You're right: gratitude goes a long way. Stay warm!

  4. I have always thought of starting a gratitude journal, it would be a great place to turn on the not so great days. :)

  5. Okay, that coldness......that's just sick and wrong. Nothing zaps my enthusiasm to run like single digit temps.

  6. It is lovely to be appreciated and even nicer when it is unexpected and comes out of the blue like that. Awesome. So happy for you!

  7. I try to make a point of telling people how much I appreciate them, but can definitely work on it some more. Life is so short - we need to SAY it!

  8. looks like you're getting a heat wave on wed with 32! I think the appreciation goal is a fabulous idea- its something I'm always trying to work on as well.

  9. Ummm yeah you would have to throw me out the door to run in that!!! We have had a heat wave the past two days but temps are bottoming out tonight!! Good reminder that we need to show more gratitude!

  10. I don't think any of us expect you to go out running in those temps - stay inside and keep warm!

    I should show my appreciation more, because it does make your day to be appreciated. Yesterday I actually got a big hug from our new designer! She was so happy that her first designs were approved, and I'm chuffed that she recognises we're a team. This wasn't the case previously, and I think I like my job more already - maybe I'll stay 13 years too!
