Today's "Bring Your Child to Work" Day in my office! How wonderful! Hearing the little voices and seeing the big group of children on their tour really lifted my heart.
It made me think of this day last year. A year ago, I wasn't doing so great... Boyfriend and I were in the middle of a really difficult situation, I was having a terrible time in my new office, and I was generally in kind of a bad mood. When "Bring Your Child to Work" Day came around, it was an annoyance - the presence and noise of the kids were distracting and, I thought, inappropriate for the workplace. I turned on my iPod and tried my best to drown it all out.
Since then, I've come a long way - Boyfriend and I are doing much, much better, I'm happier with my job, I've accepted that I'm the only one in charge of my attitude, and I can step back and look at the beauty in the situation (not to mention the sheer volume of adorable!)
One boy actually took the time to come back to my desk and introduce himself to me, which I thought was cute. :)
What a wonderful change of mind I've had since then. I'm so grateful.
