It was a long 23 days!

Each year, I have a project at work that brings a lot of anxiety.  It shouldn’t be a big deal, I have been in charge of this project for many years but for some reason, I fret over it.  My nights become even more treacherous to find sleep.  The problem is that I do not work on it outside of work…why don’t I just forget about it during non-working hours?  But, I don’t…I worry constantly about it.  Tears are always on the brink of falling down my cheeks.    I get frustrated with myself and then I get frustrated with others.  I know that it affects my emotions and my mood.  I know that I become amazingly stressed out during this time of year.  I know that I shouldn’t really talk to anyone until the project is completely over because somehow and somewhere along the line, I am going to make them angry with me.  I know that I have learned over the years that I will complete this project with a high score and that I shouldn’t stress over it so much.  But…I do.  I know that this year wasn’t any exception.  I was moody and stressed.   My dear friends tried to make me happy and pleasant to be around…they really tried’ it didn’t work.   So…when I received my results, Vieve went on an errand. 

When she returned, she left this delicious treat on my desk. 

Hmm…I should have brought them a treat…they had to put up with me.  So…if you did get attacked from me during this stressful time, I ask sincere forgiveness from you.  I have tried to remember the past 23 days and apologize to those that I wasn’t really nice to but…if by chance…you didn’t get a humble apology…please accept it now.  I truly am sorry. 

So…

To my dear friends (who are still my friends after the past 23 days),

Thank you for being patient with me.  You truly are a blessing in my life.

With much love,

Michelle

As for my results…for the second year in a row…I scored 100%.  Today is definitely a good day!!!
