Gratitude

My poor girl has still not recovered from her cold yet and is still having fever. Hubby brought her back to see the doctor again and took a blood test for her. The doctor suspects that it may be Kawasaki disease but we will only know the results of the blood test by evening.

Two days ago, my supervisor messaged me one word, "Congrats!", without explaining what he is congratulating me for. In response, I just replied, "Thank you Sir." He must have been congratulating me for waking up in the morning and enjoying one more day in my life.

Yesterday, I was not feeling well and went to see my doctor. The doctor gave me two days' MC to rest. I really felt much better after resting, which means not checking my emails the whole day yesterday.

Today, I am glad to receive a message from my former subordinate, thanking me for encouraging him to take up further studies. He had messaged me just to thank me and inform me that he had completed his diploma. So nice of him to still remember me.

This small gesture is a good reminder to myself that all the work that I've done is worth it.
