May is almost over! Hooray! These are my little moments of the past week...
23 - Getting to see my boss's daughter as he brought her into work before her dentist appointment. She was adopted from Ethiopia and is such an adorable little girl. We share a love of the color pink. :)
24 - Getting sucked into a really good book (Room).
25 - My boss let me go home a couple of hours early so I'd have plenty of time to do a practice exam. He is a CFA charterholder, so he gets what I am going through, which is really nice.
26 - Getting a thoughtful email from my Grandma (who is 89 - how cool is it that she emails?).
27 - A delicious dinner prepared by my aunt and uncle + 3 games of bananagrams. Oh how I adore that game. This was a REALLY tough day for me - I cried a river of tears (over a tough practice exam). My spirits were lifted by spending time with family.
28 - Having some delicious watermelon as an afternoon study break snack.
29 - A spontaneous lunch with a good friend that I hadn't seen in 6+ months.
What were your little moments of the past week?
Man- I have tried to get into Room so many times and I can't! What am I missing?! So many people love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your Little Moments!
I'm glad you're doing this in the midst of all your CFA stress. It has to be a great way to find the good in things! That's why I love doing it so much. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Stephany, I'm glad you're doing this while under this much stress and pressure!
ReplyDeleteBanangrams, even if I lost all three games!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLet the little things add up to a big win this week!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to pass along this:
http://ultrarunnerpodcast.com/archives/2010 about an all fruit eating ultramarathoner. Thought you might find it interesting.
What a great week, in particular, for you to take a few minutes to think about the good things in your life. I love that you're sticking to this weekly post this month!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are remembering to stop and smell the roses every week! Sometimes months can easily go by where we forget! You are almost through this! I am glad that your boss is so accommodating and supportive. I think that has made a huge difference in your studying!
ReplyDeleteLast week I had a really great trip to Target (I found those "pots" in the dollar aisle) and I made brownies and "cookies" (and ate them all) and I had a few REALLY good runs on a new trail!
Those are great moments to be thankful for this week! :) Mine would have to be seeing my husband, mom and MIL on the side of the course at my half marathon on Sunday. I wasn't expecting to see them at all, and it was a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteI love this weekly post of yours! Definitely important to pay attention to the small, good things in your life when you in the middle of such a stressful time!! XO
ReplyDeleteI just love your little moments posts.... it's so easy to forget the good things that happen every day (even if we're so busy with life that sometimes we don't notice!)
ReplyDeletet-minus 4 days!!!
So who did win Bananagrams?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really lovely week despite the stress of studying. Another reason I just love these little moments posts, totally reminds you how there is time for things you love even though there is a lot of less-fun things going on.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma emails too - hehe, isn't it the coolest :-) And spontaneous lunches - how fun!
