Have I mentioned, I *love* being able to format my entries. Thank you for the new feature!!! It's also interesting that others can comment on my monthly entry now.
I'm putting a lot of time and effort at work lately. I had my annual review at work and got a sweet bonus. I'm aiming for a promotion this year so I'm making friends of my teammates and figuring out how to work on the most important tasks with good visibility for the next few months. I've been spending a lot of time at work but I observe myself getting better both technically and socially. It's been gratifying. My manager is learning how to be a life coach and he guided me through finding my top 5 values. They are, in order of importance: practicality, integrity, resourcefulness, thoughtfulness, and caring.
I went skiing for the second time ever this past weekend. I went with teammates and it was actually really nice, my coworkers are a fun bunch even though I was terrible at the actual skiing portion. I had taken a break from taking exercise classes for two weeks last month in order to attend dance practice for my performance in my company's Chinese New Year celebration so I worked out extra hard this past month to make up for it. I'm able to see my triceps now!
A college friend is visiting from the east coast and I had dinner and a nice conversation with him two days ago. I'm thankful that I've been able to keep so many friends from college even though I live so far from them, there's a handful of friends I phone with on a weekly or monthly basis. Old friends are the way I keep in touch with the world outside of the tech bubble I live in, they keep me grounded by sharing what they're up to, what they're excited for, and what they've been thinking about lately. Finally, I'm thankful for my boyfriend who pushes me to become emotionally mature. He meditates regularly and had me join him a couple times. Afterwards he asks me what thoughts I had during the meditation, but I didn't have any because I fell asleep. (o^_^o)
