Today’s little slice
of “happitude” is...
This awesome sticker. It’s as if it was made
just for me... not only because my love for wine and champagne often leaves me
feeling fragile, but more importantly because this will remind me of my new
mantra for the next while: “You’re fragile now, but never weak”...
It’s no big secret that I have a lot of good
friends at the office. I think it’s important to be friends with the people who
you’re spending a good 8, 9, sometimes 10 (or more) hours of your day with.
Llewellyn, another good work friend of mine, was
chatting to me about my recent break-up and I told him that I sometimes feel so
hopeless and out of control when it comes to my feelings. Sometimes all it
takes is one little trigger to remind me of what I ended and I’ll be a tearful
mess all over again.
“I feel like that makes me so weak”, I told him.
He frowned back at me and then, all of a sudden,
his facial expression changed completely. It was a “eureka” moment sort of
expression. He started digging in one of his desk drawers and pulled out a
strip of stickers. He cut one off of the strip and handed it to me.
“There,” he said, “put that somewhere where
you’ll always see it and it will remind you that you’re fragile right now, but never weak”.
Such a special little gesture that meant so very
much!
