My Best Life - Day 22

I will go ahead and put today in the awesome category. I wasn't on a beach, or at a concert and nothing really out of the ordinary happened but the little things about today are what made it so good.

I got to go to the Packet for a meeting this morning, which is great because most of my friends happen to work there. Getting paid to hang out at the P & T brings me great joy. Actually the last few years of working there were unreal. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time but I miss it... a lot!

Obviously being in Orillia I made a pit stop at Mariposa  Market for a French roast coffee. It is the best coffee I have ever had. Okay that is a lie, the best coffee I ever had was on the beach every morning in Costa Rica. It is the second best coffee I have ever had. Any time I have the opportunity to stop in and grab a cup I totally take advantage of it. You would be surprised how good you can feel just from having a cup of coffee.

So this meeting I attended was with all the publishers and ad managers in the region and they have worked in the company for a long time. They know more then me and were much more prepared for this meeting then I was. My first instinct was to feel embarrassed at my unpreparedness but I realized that this was a great learning experience for me. Having these meetings will make me better at my job. I need to stop worrying about not knowing everything and just start learning from my mistakes.

After the meeting I got to stop in and visit a friend for 20 minutes, win! He made me a delicious latte. It was so good that I even took the last sip and for the record I don't take the last sip of anything (random weird fact about me). It grosses me out but I was too involved in how good it was to notice.

Getting to the picture, I went to crossfit tonight and finally after a month or so of not really being into it finally got my groove back. I lifted the 24 kg kettlebell for the first time today.... 100 times. It wasn't pretty and I need to work on them for sure but I did it. I also did 100 pull-ups and 200 double unders. In the last round my hand shredded and skin flew off my hands, it was spectacular.

So all in all, it was pretty much what I do everyday with a twist. I feel so lucky that my everyday life makes me this happy. Cheers!
