A perfect day for daydreaming! And I can almost smell their sweetness the minute I place the flower bulbs on the old rusty chair in my garden.
Taking a pit stop between meetings, in the outskirt of Copenhagen. Passing by a supermarket, wanting to buy a bottle of water. The sun is shining, the air is warm and smooth, and I'm getting totally seduced by this gorgeous shelf bursting with spring flowers.

On the top of really terrible news less than a week ago, we had some good news today.
It's still going to be damn tough in just a few days from now, and for a very long time! However two absolutely wonderful people, very very dear to me, are practicing the gratitude mindset in it's extreme form these days. I am learning and admiring them profoundly, as well as deeply sharing their gratitude today!!! ...the photo today, is a photo taken of a photo, taken at very special place in Jutland. And that's where my mind is right now. About to fall asleep in a minute. This is the view I'll enjoy the minute I wake up tomorrow.
Working with Global Mindset in Middelfart today and tomorrow. Running an organisational development workshop with a brand new client and they are absolutely awesome! This view is NOT the only thing I am looking forward to. Feeling privileged being allowed to join that team all day tomorrow! The others have left now, but I'm staying till tomorrow. Work, the coming days, will take place not that far from here.
I'm at my childhood home, lying on the living room couch, listening to the old clock ticking on the wall, while looking out of the window to the garden, where I have played so many times. Tired and loaded with so many impressions, reflections and emotions from the last three days! We've talked a lot. Talked about how priorities can suddenly change. How things that used to be important all of a sudden loses all significance. How mindset can shift, and values can change. I used to worry a lot as a child. I have a lot more to worry about today! Worries cannot be avoided. And should not be either! But I've learned that they can be balanced through gratitude. Spending time this weekend with my brother and my sister in law, has been extremely valuable in so many ways. I fell sadness, but at the same time I am high on trust, assurance, true admiration... and a whole lot of love!! Spending the weekend with my family, my parents, and my brother and his family.
Grateful for sharing time and other stuff that really matters, with people who truly matters. Grateful for having had my first day with new colleagues from Human Univerz, introducing really great IT consultants to change mangement, the Prosci & ADKAR way!
If I could rewind and do this day all over, that was were I would wanna spend my day, once again from 8-17. After a day, joyfully crowded with meetings like pearls on a string, I take my exit from the highway, and drive the last kilometers along the sea.
I am truly grateful for my job, and all the fantastic people I get to meeting each and every week!!! And at the same time equally grateful for the special effect this wet, blue carpet has on me, welcoming me back home in silence. I absolutely love this duality. Yesterdays news still affected me deeply today, and it seemed to make the entire globe turn slower.
My brother's words kept following me all day, and I decided to "seek the day", and placed a long walk in the forest between the virtual coaching sessions and the preparation for a change management workshop for Friday. The sun was shining, the wind was surprisingly warm, woodpeckers where busy in what seemed as every treetop, and this little fellow seemed to enjoy life to the fullest. Walked along the beach on my way back, smelled the sea, felt the cold water on my wrists and neck and the warmth of the sun on my body. Returned back to work, the clouds drifted in, and the rain started. Grateful for having had the chance to grab the moment when Spring almost seemed like Summer today. Had really bad news today! Brought to me by my brother over the phone.
After we'd cried, talked and been silent for a while, he said; "At least it's given us a chance to figure out and focus on what's really important. And we've decided not to wait until tomorrow. We'll start focusing already today!" ...It's really hard to feel gratitude on a day like this ... and then at the same time it's not. Feeling gratitude doesn't have to be full of joy and lightness. During the last months I've learned that it can come in all shapes and colors, and just now I realize that gratitude can also be accompanied by sorrow. Today I feel very strongly that relationships, and sharing love, is what makes me truly grateful, and it seems to be what's life's all about. Pouring rain most of the day. Nice mix of working out and working from home.
By the end of the day a headhunter calls to ask if I might be interested in going for a an interview on a specific position he is working on filling at the moment. I did call back, and I admit being curious to hear what was on his mind, but with deep gratitude I noticed that the job opening had to be really interesting to make me even tempted. Even though a man, stable in the same firm for the last 20 years, a few month ago noted that he, at first, found my career "a little messy the last couple of years", I really really enjoy my crazy messy worklife. |
