She's Keeping it Simple

Work and Life

Recently, I've read a passage from a book that says " Life and work should be separate.." so that when our work would failed, it will not drastically affect our life as well..

I'm currently employed in the same department for 2 years now..
I started out not knowing how to be good at what I'm doing..
I was immature and compliant.
I have to admit I was not the best with what I'm doing..
But one thing I'm quiet certain was that for my first year, I tried the best thing I know how, I did my research and I tried to do my part the best thing I know.

The thing about my work, Is you never know if you'll be here the next year or not..

The 2nd year, we were reshuffle and I was assigned at the 3 different communities with a lot of people to deal with.
I had mishaps along the way too... but every now and then I tried to pick myself to pieces and sacrifice financially and personally..
Last year, I was all burn out with my works and obligations and deadlines with people I have to deal with...
But I can see that I am improving.
Although I'm not there yet..

Last month, we took our renewal exam.. I wasn't able to review very well since I was having my asthma.
But I was glad, that some the questions I've researched where the same type of questions that appeared on our exam, but there we questions on topics I haven't reviewed.. it was a mix emotion.

After the review, we had a short get together with my colleagues, we ate and took some selfies as well.

We weren't able to see each other for about a month, but somehow it's like we were always seeing each other.

Then 2 weeks gone by and we had a thanks giving at our house, our relatives and friends will be coming as well..
The same day, my mom got a text from our supervisor that I got it..
I was happy, after hearing it personally from my Aunt Hely since my mom and her were together that morning, but somehow, i was ambivalent. I didn't believe it for short. But after an hour, I finally saw it on Facebook as my colleagues start to post the list of the passers. And I saw my name #9. I was glad and happy.

A new month arrived and so was our first day at work.. on the second day we had our monthly meeting.
I received a negative comment from my previous colleague in the community, but somehow I was not moved. I felt bad but was completely at peace right after. That's what opening our hearts and allowing God to reside in it - can do for a person.
There's stillness in my heart.
After a minute, it was announced that I was part of the top 3 passers of the exam, considering I was not at my best term while reviewing. I was glad and happy to have heard it .

Now, given a new chance in my work. I will do my part, expect less and stress less.

I want a working environment build in love and peace... if I am working might as well put a little fun and heart in it.. after all most of the days, it's where I stay.
