I had a great day. My day has me walking on air. It has me feeling euphoric. It has me happy. Today was an amazing day.
The work project I put my blood, sweat, tears and heart into graduated today. It's not a person, but, it was like my baby. I've watched it grow. I watched it mature. Today, I watched it graduate. And, it is pretty much valedictorian. That made my day.
Then, I had to step outside my comfort zone. I had to do something that I wasn't sure I would be able to do with any type of flair. I am used to speaking in front of groups of people - when I am doing our testing process for new hire prospects, I have a twenty minute orientation and it's in front of about twelve people. When I used to do POST classes, I would have groups to about twenty, but it was the same thing every time.
There is a national conference in town and I was scheduled to teach with my partner in the project. I was the lead in the class. It was a breakout session, thank goodness, not in front of everyone. There were about thirty people there, maybe a little more or maybe a little less. I walked in confident, I walked in secure, I walked in like I knew what I was doing. That all worked until there was a microphone clipped on me. I was not real confident or secure at that point. I started out a little shaky - - BUT - - things got better. I felt great when it was done.
It was just an awesome day, topped off by dinner with my guy and filling up with gas for $3.00 a gallon, when it's $3.49 every where else!!!!
