In my mind, I experienced the coolest thing yesterday and I just had to share with you all.
Thursday my boss sends me a meeting planner for 7:30 in the morning. I could not help but wonder what I was in trouble for. So I stopped by and asked what I needed to bring in order to be prepared. She responded with nothing, I just want to pick your brain about some stuff. Okay so during the meeting I am feeling rather honored that she finds my input valuable. Then we walk to our department meeting...leaders running late and the team sounds out of control. I walk in and all I hear was "SUPRISE" and horns blowing. My meeting with my boss was simply a diversion tactic. For a breif moment I was bummed that my input was not as valuable as I originally thought.
What they were celebrating is the coolest thing of all. The party was to a WAKE if you will. They were celebrating the loss of 100 lbs for me. They made a big deal about something that was only really important to me - my goal, not theirs! They made me wear a shirt that said "Tiff 100 lbs later..." and they got balloons, plates, napkins, buttons, and a customized sign with "100" on them.
I mean these are people I work with and at times I am hard on. It is not like my family who knows that I love them through the good and bad. Obviously I have made an impact though. I just felt so honored.
My daughter was there and took some pictures. When I get them, I will post them.
