Today I was reminded – yet again – how much I enjoy my work and right now I am feeling very grateful to have discovered a way to combine my passions and highest values with a source of income. I am a lucky girl.   I got so excited to see my Greetings Cards being delivered today. I was like a little girl in a candy shop. I think the courier was a little taken aback by my enthusiasm! Loads of bright colours and clever design – I am in heaven. A simple girl, me!   This afternoon, my friend – we shall call her ‘Mama Guru’ – popped over with her children for kid’s tea. We usually never get to finish a sentence but today the kiddies played happily and we were left to our cups of herbal tea and obviously very deep and meaningful conversation. Mama Guru suggested we busy our hands while chatting. God forbid we give ourselves guiltless permission to sit and natter. We must keep busy! So, we compiled my new delivery of Valentine’s Notebooks (which I am also beside myself excited about!). It was wonderful to sit and chat and create.   I am happy and I am excited. I love that my job let’s me design and create beautiful things. I love that I get elements of my work done in the company and with the help of great friends (little does she know I now have several thousand greetings cards sat on my table that need to be stuffed into plastic sleeves…..!!!!). I had a meeting today over a pub lunch in front of a roaring open fire. Much better than a boardroom! And tonight I get to finish off my work day in the comfort of my own home while listening to Finn snoring upstairs. It all suits me perfectly and I am very very grateful.   * Pic is of some new Valentine’s notebooks which were completed today – just in-case I didn’t plaster them all over Facebook enough earlier…. 😉
