The week that was 20200502

PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT

Oh the joy and happiness to be allowed out to exercise! Yesterday, 01 May 2020, first day of Level 4 and being allowed to exercise between 06:00 and 09:00, Mark & Bella were out of the gate at 06:01! I did a leisurely cycle up Chappies. So incredibly grateful to be able to go for a cycle and enjoy the view of the Bay from the other side again. This morning Bella and I went for a run. No running on the beach yet, so close yet so far; it was nonetheless wonderful to have a proper leg stretch. I do however need to figure out how to run with a buff; can't see a thing when I wear my glasses (ended up taking them off half way through the run; better to see a clear blur, then trying to view the world through fogged up lenses. The buff also got very gross and wet from breathing into it; will need to come up with a better solution. 

We had our monthly WOW 'dinner' via Zoom; so lovey to catch up with all the ladies. Grateful for this wonderful group that Margaret Hirsch has put together. 

Very grateful for the opportunity to be interviewed on Abongile Nzelenzele's Early Breakfast show to chat about Reputation Matters and our free ebook. 

So grateful for the view that has been keeping me breathing and sane. The photo doesn't quite capture the beauty of the late afternoon sun reflecting off the mountain.

BIGGEST LESSON THIS WEEK / REMINDER

I'm enjoying Carly Fiorina's Tough Choices. This was a great reminder this week:

"There is always something to laugh about, even in the most difficult times. It's especially important to find the humour in the tough times because laughter helps people to manage stress. And when people find something they can laugh about together, they begin to bond," Carly Fiorina.

Yesterday, during my cycle up Chappies, there were A LOT of runner, cyclists and walkers.
E V E R Y O N E was friendly and smiling (even the cyclists who are notoriously grumpy)!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create. 

WHAT MADE ME GIGGLE

Bella is quite the collector of tennis balls; she finds them on her walks and has quite a collection! Once she's found them, she can never make up her mind which one to play with first. We have clusters of balls all around the house and garden that she alternates her focus on. 

 Enough said...
 

Have a wonderful week!
