Warmth

Today has been good, for all kinds of reasons.

Highlights?

The Teenager having to pick up a difficult and very urgent problem around 4.15pm, and with some help from the Manager and I, getting a successful outcome by 5pm. It has been great watching her confidence and ability grow over the last 3 months.

Escaping for a coffee break about 3pm. I haven't had a coffee break for 3 months (on "office days", obviously). My lunch break was cut short today, so I had good reason.

Rotary... Our regular, monthly, informal meeting had a few call offs during the day, so it turned out to be just the club president and I. We had an excellent Lebanese dinner and a very open exchange of views, confirming that we think the same way about some of the club's issues. The knowledge will give her extra confidence in tackling them.

I got my Blip on my way back from that coffee break. It's too soon for the sun to have any warmth in it, but today I did feel like that time isn't so far away now.
