Great Work Week ...Peace of Mind

Our "Northern Lights" Team - lighting up Northern Minnesota
(I do Admn. Support work for the whole team)

I had a good week at work. One of the best ever. I have definitely been suffering for a long time from "burn out". Having four days off of work last Thursday through Sunday really made a difference. I felt more refreshed and not as over whelmed as I usually feel with my work load. I still have a heavy work load, but because I had those 4 days of rest, I seemed to be able to handle my work days better. Also, I did what I said in my last post that I was going to do. I kept in mind all week the first statement of "The Optimist Creed". It was: "I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind". I know that statement by heart now, because I said it to myself in my head, all week long!

It must have made a difference in my work week! AND it was a busy week for all of us...two of our staff had Relay For Life Events last night....Moose Lake and Superior/Douglas Co. We all kept it together!

Our manager mentioned yesterday that she feels that there is not the tension in our office the last few weeks as it was. She said even with these busy weeks of relay events, we are all handling work and relationships so much better than we did last summer at this time. I told her I agreed with her, especially this last week! We have all been working together well as a team!

I hope and pray that this is the start of a better work atmosphere for us all. I will keep up with my Optimist Creed and keep being optimist for a great work environment for us all in the office!
