Hi,thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback on my
driving, clearly you didn’t want to ‘regret’ not doing that before I am
arrested!! Seriously, I am making an effort in my marked car J
I admit I am a bit set in my ways, enjoy my own space and get
grumpy when I feel like that space or comfort zone is threatened….so imagine
when it was suggested we do something a bit different? I was a grump and had to
be led literally kicking and screaming but as is often the case I had an
amazing time at the Matua music event on Saturday listening to bands and
relaxing in the sun!
The cruisey beats of Trinity Roots and my families enjoyment
of the entire experience will be lingering and extra special memories for me. Fletcher
had a ball running bare foot through the vines with heaps of other kids as we
mellowed with a glass (or two) of the vineyards finest.
Hmmmmm another lesson for me…..get out of your comfort zone
old boy and live a little J
That said, we have had a cool four day weekend that seemed
like it would last forever!
As always I am looking forward to going back to work for a
rest after four full on days with our son!
I was thinking the other day on my run (as you do) that the
reason I work out twice a day,five days a week is so I am in top condition to
last the distance on the weekend with Fletcher the action kid!
From
the Fletcher file; Our little boy was
18months old on Sunday WOW a reminder to us that spending time enjoying every
day of our lives together is so important.
We even had time to catch up with Nana and Poppa this
weekend, so important to stay in touch with the people closest to us, hope you
had time to relax and do the same.
Have a great week ahead…..…………..Cheers Jonesey!!
Harry
and the Hendersons reckon there should be a music event at Matua for groovy
dogs!
Crikey it was a tough week as I attempted to fit five
business days activity into three!
I ended up stressing myself out, lost focus on the
priorities and basically mislaid the plot.
On top of that I missed out on a couple of big projects
I have been chasing and what went wrong more or less did…..ever had days/weeks
like that?
The reality is that life personal or business cant and
dosent go perfectly all the time no matter how ‘Upbeat’ you try to be or try to inspire others to be.
So what do you do when your’e having a mare?
The easiest thing I found to do was laugh J,I
reckoned it was a good ploy given I didn’t think things could get any worse.
The other thing I did was to focus on something I was looking forward to which was my
forthcoming extra long weekend. Both these things relieved some of the tension
I had built up, uncoiled the spring a bit and allowed me time to focus on what
I could achieve rather than trying to do everything,which I had to accept was
impossible. Once I had done that I could crack on.
I analysed my failed project bids,talked to the key
people so I understood where I had missed out/gone wrong and tried not to beat
myself up too much about it……ok, just a little arrrggghhhhh.
Then I was nice to myself by rewarding me with a
strawberry yoghurt ice cream from one of the growers outlets on the way home
one sunny night…..ahhhh bliss, and after that lot I was feeling a lot better
about my short week from sales hell…..so look after yourselves, because its
tough out there!!
