    You are welcome, Tom!

    I wonder if you’re already on the plane, being that you posted exactly an hour ago (by the time I submit this post). If you are, I hope that you do have a good sleep and a safe flight.

    If you want to elaborate on the self-doubt, please do.

    (I used to suffer from lots and lots of self-doubt and know how draining that is!)

    Hi Anita,

    Yes, I was on the plane and made it back and the presentation went ok yesterday and was well received. Internally another member of the team has tried to take most of the glory for it but I am too old to get involved in all the politics these days. I am glad to be home and look forward to spending some time with my partner and dog.

    Hi Tom:

    Glad you made it back safely and that the presentation was well received! I understand politics can be annoying but.. if it’s something you can’t change.. or it’s not going to be worth it to get into it, better let it go, I suppose.

    I hope that you are having a relaxing, comforting time with your partner and 🐶.

    🌿 🤍 Anita

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I am ok, have been getting on with things and was in a good space but last week or so has been tough. Found myself being more negative which isn’t like me just with the news in the world etc bringing me down. Work has been political also which hasn’t helped. All of this coupled with a bit of ‘man flu’ has just impacted my mood. I keep powering on and looking for my purpose.

    Hope you are ok.

    Hi Tom:

    I am curious as to what world news are bringing you down (there’re quite a few negative news 😢). No worries, you will get no political arguments from me.. It’s just that it might help to express yourself here?

    Yes, I am okay, feeing a bit low and just about to take a long walk in the politics-free woods around here 😊

    Hope you had a nice walk, the fresh air always helps. Yes, there is a lot of negativity in the news. Mainly about the economy etc at the moment. Feel like I should be in a happier spot as I approach 40 as i have lots to be greateful but until i find a job i enjoy i’m not sure that i will feel a lot better.

    Have been working from home the last few days as not been feeling too well but hoping to be better soon.

    Hi Tom:

    Had a bit of sun and not too much rain today

    “Feel like I should be in a happier spot as I approach 40”- I just remembered what I went through when I was 40.. Yes, I was very depressed at the time, felt like a Failure (big case F there), as if I reached an age where there’s no excuse to not be.. where a 40-year-old is supposed to be.

    What a relief that I’m not feeling this way so many years later.

    I hope that you feel better than you feel before you even turn 40..

    Hoping that you experience more calm and peace of mind sooner than later 🕊️

    🤍 Anita
