I jogged 10 miles this week. Jogging = people who were walking, were passing me.

The bus I was on stopped before I was ready. I fell sideways and accidentally brushed passed someone. They could see I was embarrassed and were cool about it.

For once, I said exactly what I wanted to say and left a domineering colleague speechless.

Bravo!

Keep these coming. They are enjoyable.

Also, you know what they say: no matter how slow you were jogging, you are lapping the (previous) you that was on the couch.

Edit to add: in both kettlebell and yoga this week I was able to do about a third of the exercises, so you are in good company, for people just trying to hang on while exercising.

I love your ta-dah!s and the name of the list, Beany.

This reminds me of keeping a daily gratitude list, which I do intermittently.

Wishing you more ta-dah!s this week.

At the risk of being reported or fired, I emailed a senior manager to point out they had made an accounting error.

Next day, I received an email of sincere apology and a promise to correct the error.

So, that’s something that’s possible.
