this morning I took gerbers to the office to celebrate my seven year anniversary…

I’d picked them up last night and stood them up in a reusable grocery bag… even put the seat belt on to keep them from falling over…

I had spent some time last week making cards with some of my photographs and writing a note for every person…

had a few issues with the technology of getting the note and the picture in the right place, lol… but eventually they were all prepared…

it is always a treat to do something that makes others happy… one colleague commented how she loved when I had special events happening in my life because the rest of the team always get to celebrate as well… another suggested I was confused, as on your special day you are supposed to get the treats, not give them, lol… she’s new to the office;-)…

had a bit of a laugh when I realized that I hadn’t taken a picture of the flowers and vases in the kitchen before everyone started to come and choose theirs… usually I am on top of getting pictures, but the early birds were so excited that I got distracted… don’t have a single picture of the set up or even of any of the flowers in everyone’s space…

then just after lunch I found this at my desk…

in it was this beautiful rose and a lovely note from my colleague, who also happens to be my supervisor…

what a lovely treat…

it is wonderful to be appreciated… whether it is your special event, or someone else’s…
