Showing appreciation

I’m working through my final week of work after more than 5 years on a project.

Leaving an organisation on good terms provides an opportunity to express appreciation for the assistance and friendship provided by colleagues.

I’ve also been heartened by the amount of compliments I have received.

I’m very grateful to have worked with many caring people on the project.

Cool mornings – winter is approaching

The last few mornings have been quite cool. Yesterday the temperature went down to about 4 degrees centigrade. Winter is around the corner.

The freshness of these mornings reminds me that it’s great to be alive. Where I live, winter is the season of life. Winter rain turns the parks, fields and gardens greener, makes the rivers and creeks flow and brings out the frogs and water birds.

Show your good side

Yesterday, I caught a bus and then a train to and from a wonderful community event. On the train there was a poster displaying a poem promoting good behaviour while using public transport. A line of the poem I really liked was “show your good side”.

Show your good side: be positive; respect and be considerate of other people.

I believe showing our good side should be our intention everywhere, including on public transport 🙂
