A beautiful day at work.....
First, a colleague insists that I put the productive team meeting under the Happiness Project and her arguments are pretty sound. I like her thinking. Collaborative planning meetings, that work, give a sense of fulfillment in the professional capacity which readily transfers into the personal space. Definitely a cause to be happy!
Then, I get this whatsapp message from a colleague who I helped with some shopping and settling in......... "Thank you for being a part of my world now. You rock!" It makes me happy to have helped someone and to have made a new friend.
Then the surprise invite by Sangeeta for the Gran Plan throws me completely off-balance! I am honoured, privileged, touched and very happy that she wants Micky and me to be a part of the movie screening. She even wishes for Neetima to be there! I take a screen shot of her message and send it to Neetima who promptly responds with her own message for her! Bless.
It makes me happy to think that Sangeeta thinks of Neetima separately as a person with her own identity; and that Neetima accords Sangeeta utmost respect and doesn't take her for granted and is interested in her work as well as her interactions. Love it!
Before I pack off for the night, I wait for Micky to return from his office dinner. A friend starts a whatsapp conversation and I get transported back to my twenties. The evening is spent reminiscing the journey, the struggles, the unexpected crests and troughs and the ultimate win!
It is always difficult to see struggle as something positive when one is right in the middle of it. Yet, the relationships forged, cemented during these struggles stay on as trophies.... once you get over the bitter taste of it all. The relationships I developed as a result of those times are priceless and are a big factor contributing towards my happiness.
