I still hardly believe it’s Christmas. Tomorrow, my family will get together. We prepared with food, a huge tree, some presents and a lot of anticipation with my parents. Looking forward.
Today was the last working day for me this year. I still hardly believe how much I have changed in my life this year.
I can’t be grateful enough for the team I have become a part of at work. It is a super motivating group of awesome colleagues. I am glad every day for where I am at at my career at the moment.
It’s been a great start since September. But now, it’s time for the family.
It’s only a few days left before Christmas. End of the year. It’s challenging to remain focused, especially working from home. But we are getting there.
We held a “Christmas lunch break” together with my team, that I am proud and happy to be part of. And that’s how I got to know this version of Silent Night.
I have a lot of plans for the next year. Some things I wished to have done before, and some new priorities. We will see how that goes. Until then, I will try to enjoy these last few days and focus here.
My grandmother believes her “boss” is taking care of all of us. I don’t know about that, but I know that we brought her great joy with a surprise birthday flashmob in front of the hospital, waving at her with the whole family.
She’s 92, and she still has many ideas. Some days she sees things in a more positive light, sometimes she’s tired. Mostly, she finds a way to see the positive side of people. Her filter towards the World is a unique one. She prefers to believe that we “all should look up”, because her boss is taking care of all of us. She believes that a picture of Maria will keep us safe. She believes in the next generations and is the proudest granny ever. She says that “granny is long” and changes the subject before she turns too negative. She talks a lot and has some old fashioned views on love, gender and lifestyles. But she also learns new things every day. Zen, Buddha, Christ and Marie. Whoever is really out there, I hope will lead her in her peace forward.
This time tomorrow, I’ll be home, most probably watching something silly on TV with my parents. I still hardly can believe, but we are going home for Christmas.
This past week was busy, but I managed to run all the chores, get everything I wanted and arrange the important things. I even had a small victory at work today. It will be odd to work next week from home home, but it’s amazing I can do that.
This year is about to end on a nice note. I couldn’t be happier.
I am counting back the days – it is almost Saturday and our journey home home. I hardly can wait. But I find ways to keep myself busy until then. I am so grateful to have a job that motivates me every day to learn new things and to improve my processes, pushing me to use tools I hadn’t used before. It really gave me wings lately.
Only a few days left before my Christmas holidays. It’s a nice way to end the year.
