appreciation, big girl pants, breakfast, colleagues, datura, DISC, hibiscus, patio, pond, raindrops, staff, The Met, Thermea, widow

on my way out of the house this morning I dug out my camera to take some pictures of the flowers that were blooming…

one of the hibiscus flowers was just opening…

the raindrops are so pretty on the blossoms… and there have been lots of raindrops recently…

the datura is very happy in its pot… one day the pot might make it to the front yard, lol…

today was Staff Appreciation Day… we came in a bit later than usual and were treated to a lovely breakfast…

then we had a great workshop on DISC, a personal assessment tool…

DiSC® is the leading personal assessment   tool used by over 1 million people every year to improve work productivity, teamwork and communication.

great to get more insight into how we can work more effectively as a team and learn a bit more about one another…

before heading out for lunch everyone got to choose a parcel and this is the one I chose…

the only one with a gift certificate to Thermea, woo hoo… I’ve been thinking about going for the last while, and now I will…

then we went to The MET for lunch on the patio, followed by the afternoon off…

returned home, turned the pump back on in the pond, and came into the house for a lovely nap…

feeling very nicely appreciated…

appreciation, big girl pants, birthdays, decades, Forks, friend, lunch, packing, sunshine, Sydney's, The Forks, walk, widow

had a lovely walk to and from the Forks today… 

excellent meal at Sydney’s at The Forks… had a wonderful shrimp bisque and their signature salad… the bisque had a teeny tiny Monte Cristo sandwich in the middle of it… very tasty… salad was delicious too… today I wasn’t even tempted by the bread, lol… it was a fork and spoon kind of lunch…

  

my friend and I were celebrating our birthdays, which are ten days, and a few years, apart… on top of a great chance to catch up, I was treated to lunch… we’ve known one another for three decades and have both worked and volunteered together… I learned much of what I know about how to deal with people and appreciate them from our time together… always enjoy every chance we have to get together… 

got this great picture of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights as I walked back to the office…

 

Canadian Museum for Human Rights

 
I’ve really come to appreciate the look of it… 

really happy to be outside… although it was a bit cool when I was walking into the wind, the sunshine made up for the chill…

should have gone to aquasize after work but this has been and will continue to be a very busy week so decided to rest and finish up the packing…

well I better get on with that…

appreciation…

appreciation, Beachcomber, big girl pants, blessed, garden, mandevilla, Pictionary, The Forks, water taxi tour

had a wonderful day…

checked the garden and saw that one of the mandevilla buds had finally opened… they are beautifully structured, but take a long time to open…

  
we didn’t have to be at the office until an hour after our usual time as today was staff appreciation day…

  
while we ate breakfast snacks, which can be a bit complicated as we have a number of food issues, we played a serious game of Pictionary… some of us can be a bit competitive…

  
at the same time, taking turns getting henna tattoos… 

  
they were beautifully done by @dahliahenna…

then, a walk to The Forks where we got to take a water taxi tour on the Assiniboine and Red rivers… great fun… nothing like the wind in your face riding on the water…

  
got a nice shot of the Legislature… things always look so different from the water…

  
lunch on the patio of the Beachcomber with an incredible group…

walk back to the office and then home…

truly blessed to work in an organization which does appreciate and care for all staff members…
