Ha! I've just twigged why I'm suddenly seeing so many posts about gratitude. It was thanksgiving yesterday (as lots and lots of people said before I made the connection). I just had a giggle at myself about feeling territorial about it (which I actually didn't, but the idea popped into my head and tickled me with its inappropriateness, so I almost wish I had). It's good, isn't it, that so many people are gratefulling all over the place. I like it very much. Shower the people you love with love (thanks, Mahasukha). And the ones you don't know yet... Why not, eh?
Today is an adventure. Distance makes it so. Instead of travelling to a London office I've never been to, I get to travel to a Paris office I've never been to instead, to do one of my favourite things ever, and get paid for it. I have the over-anxious anticipation of someone who can't believe their luck, and can't quite accept that this is really happening. I've got that 'surely something must go wrong' feeling. I suspect it will go swimmingly. One of the reasons I love this work is that while you can shape a structure and prepare a toolkit (which I have done), you can't know what you're actually going to do until you have the person or people you're working with right there in front of you. I realise that this is one of the things I find the most exciting about the job. And the fact that another language is involved. So, holding lightly between my hands the fact that I can't predict or control how it goes, but can just do my best and enjoy that, including its experiments, failures, successes and progress, I'm off to work. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
