It Was Worth It

It was a struggle to go to work today. It was unusual for me to try to coordinate between closing the door gate and concentrating not to slip on the slope in front of the house. I had to think about it. It was not automatic. YIKES!

Successful with closing the gate and taking the car out, I drove for a maximum of 30 km/hour. It took a garbage man to stop the traffic so I could pass. If you know how I drive, that's not me. AT ALL.

It was a relieve to finally reach the office. The elevator floor felt like moving. After pushing the button to the 3rd floor, I leaned against the wall. There was an earthquake inside. My mind and in teh elevator at the same time.And I was lucky that no one had been with me in it to see how I was so paranoid with how the elevator was juggling in my mind.

Reaching my floor, it was another relieve. Gosh. I said a lot of 'alhamdulillah' already and I wasn't even out of the house for 15 minutes.

In short, I made it safely at the meeting point. The lunch was wonderful. The food was not that great, though. The fun part was when the envelopes were spread and each and everyone of my team member peeked what's inside and some of them shouted. Happy faces here and there. Questions of disbelief. It was PRICELESS. All the struggles? It was all worth it. Indeed.
