Opportunity

My mother has a belief: when you have the impression that something totally wrong or strange happened to you, there is a reason, a new opportunity may lurking just around the corner. This may have to do with her optimism, she does believe that there is something good and wonderful in every little thing, and maybe this approach did rub off on me, I do my best to stay positive!

Picture from here

Yesterday I was supposed to leave for Estonia, but when I woke up in the morning I realised that I cannot, my cold was still present, I was having fever and my ear infection did not heal yet. Thus, I hoped that my boss will agree with me and let me skip this one meeting. I was rather anxious when I approached him and surprise, surprise he told me that actually this is a great thing, since I must attend a kick off meeting for my first new project!!! Yeah! After one year of co-managing one big project and doing some small ones on my one, he did trust me to entrust me one bigger project. I was so extatic that I guess my cold was taken by surprise and I could actually focus during the meeting and had some good results at the end.

For sure in the evening I had to take it easy and today I am resting at home (OK, I admit I do some work but just a bit).

But somehow I am happy, you know an opportunity did come and I did take it!
