Weekly Wisdoms #42

What a frustrating week this has been. David is a financial planner for aviators. Two years ago we started working together but it is a totally new industry for me and what that doesnt really come naturally for me. I have, obviously, learnt a lot over the past few years but every now and then I still get stuck. This week was one of them. I just hit one wall after another the whole week. Sure, you can say the positive is I learnt a whole bunch but not sure the anxiety was worth it.

Glimmers

(Glimmers are micro-moments of joy that make us feel happy, hopeful, and safe.)

• We had such a lovely walk through a Rietvlei Nature Reserve.
• We make keychains for Emma to sell but they werent quite 100%. So I wanted to try seal them with resin. I have never worked with resin before but that never stops me (even when it should). After getting resin everywhere, I actually managed to get it right and it comes out exactly how I wanted to.
• My sage is flowering and it is so beautiful. Such a stunning shade of purple.
• Possibly the biggest piece of good news this week was that I was able to fit into a pair of jeans I havent been able to wear for over a year! I tried them on by chance and the button closed, then the zip could be done up AND the best part – they were comfortable. I nearly cried. I have struggled so much with my weight and honestly felt like nothing was working but clearly IT IS – just slowly. It did also motivate me to keep doing what I am doing.
• We visited the Rosemary Hill Spring Market on Wednesday. It was so lovely. I found my first Christmas gift which is very unusual for me, I am that last minute shopper.
• I have been wanting to upgrade my Cricut to a bigger one that can cut a lot more materials and on Thursday I just did it. It arrives on Tuesday and I can not wait.
• Eve and I visited Tierlantykies, another local market on Friday. It was such a great market – we both found some awesome goodies. I got a few more Christmas gifts and some cute Christmas decor.

Wise Words of the Week

Words of the Week

I am joining up with the Word of the Week link party this week so my word for the week would have to be I AM SORRY. I know it is 3 words but I have said I am sorry so many times this week to clients. I hate it. I don’t mind getting frustrated behind the scenes but I hate when it impacts clients. It was not only at work but also a few instances personally when I was saying sorry. Argh it was just frustrating.

Until next week!
