TGIF

Yes it is now Friday. And I must admit I am extremely grateful for that. It has been a long week and I am feeling my commute and my days are getting longer.
I was relatively good this week. I went for a swim only once but I still took it easy in the mornings. But i finally had a meeting with a foundation yesterday and i had doctor today so it is hard to do everything. Story of my life. But I am impressively not concerned about it. All went as planned, and that is unusual and nice.
This weekend i will have the entire time for myself so i plan to make use of that! To just catch up with missing pieces and try to sleep and swim. Maybe I can still improve my weekly swimming average! Baby might like that.
What Baby really likes is to know she has a new friend on the way. Just as we were inspired by one another, Baby's friend will also be the same, in the same order. And that makes us very happy. Almost part of a plan we never thought we would execute on living miles apart. So that makes this an even better week.
Baby also started permanent moving. I mean she moves all the time anyway, I never had to count any movements or kicks. But since yesterday she is now in frequent and very lasting little jumps or contractions. Yesterday was the first (of i am sure many) nights when the parents gave up and slept before the Baby!

Flying Sunday

It's been a while, I know. But time is really a precious asset and I have not been leveraging on it well enough... But today I did and I am proud. I threw all the plans out of the window and took the irrefusable offer I was made "Do you want to go flying today?". How does no work as an answer there? Here is one of the c. 30 airplanes you could see there. First reaction from our pilot: "Why are all these planes here, don't people realize it is an amazing day for flying?". Well, I had not untill he told me so! But the best is still to come, as the only girl in the group I got to ride in the front, get first view in take-off, listen to the radio of the air control all the time (we get Boston airport frequency), check the map, speeds, everything... I guess throughout the way we were some quiet passengers, in the wonders of realizing you are on air, the curiosity of identifying different places and the struggle to take the best pictures as we pass the Harvard...

The Best Self

The last classes in Leadership try hard to make you think and figure out what to do about yourself. So we talked about our best self, not just about what it is but more of when it happens. We had to ask a couple of former colleagues, friends and family to give us three examples of when we were at our best. The point is not to skyrocket your ego, don’t worry. It is about understanding what are the environments that make your strengths come out. Because if you know what they are, then you will look to pursue a future that exhibits these characteristics. A “what brings the good in you” kind of thing. It was interesting to get that feedback. More than interesting, it was insightful. It was amazingly consistent throughout and it was curious to see the examples that people remember about you. I do recommend to anyone in need to find a bit more of where they should go. The thing about the examples is that they do have something in common, whether they came from people I worked with recently o...
