If we were having coffee I would apologise for missing our coffee catch-up last month. Then we would make a plan to get together more regularly as we miss each others company. We would also use this time to remind ourselves that somethings need prioritizing. To help me with this task, this morning I discovered the #weekendcoffeeshare community and plan on joining in the fun.
If we were having coffee I would tell you about a minor work accident which resulted in my wedding and engagement rings needing to be cut off my finger in the emergency department on the 27th anniversary of meeting my husband. I was absent mindedly closing the sliding door behind to make sure confidentiality was maintained as I left the room, when it shut so fast that my left hand smashed against the metal plate totally squashing my rings into my hand. Fortunately, the diamonds don’t seem to be damaged.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that after a meeting with my collaborator we have decided to change the name of my book on eating disorder recovery from Inspiring Hope to “I’m so over this…” —practical ways eating disorder recovery is possible, which we are quite excited about. Feedback from patients has been great, as they all agree this is a statement that personally resonates with them.
If we were having coffee I would tell you I achieved my Advanced Communicator Bronze as well as my Competent Leadership Awards over the last two months. I am embarrassed to say that my CL actually took 5 years to complete due to my slackness.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed Easter Sunday last week. We had a small immediate family gathering and two Easter egg hunts — one for the adult kids and one for the parents. It was great fun with lots of laughs. After a BBQ lunch, we played Wii games which nicely finished with each team—ours, my son’s team and my daughters team winning a game. It couldn’t have been fairer if we’d tried.
If we were having coffee I would ask you what you have doing in the last few months. Let me know in the comments? If you are interested in previously coffee catch-ups see the link below.
I’m so sorry for the injury, must be painful. And its so sweet of you to care more about the diamonds on the ring rather than your finger. You must be a very selfless person.
I knew it wasn’t broken but got an xray anyway and the doctor was super surprised as she said she had never seen bones as strong as mine. It’s like they have an extra layer she said. The force could have broken another person finger.
Hey Toastmaster! I wasn’t aware that apart from a writer you also are a fabulous TM. ‘Advanced Communicator Bronze, and, Competent Leader’ well done, congratulations. Which club are you associated with?
Your blog now seems more beautiful. It’s awesome.
Do give a visit to my blog too, would love to know your views- http://writeitsagar.wordpress.com/
Coffee Catch Up, such a splendid work! Let’s stay connected!
Thanks I am inspired by your feedback. I belong to two Toastmaster Clubs — Parramatta (an old established and professional club) and Parramatta Pioneers (a new club I am a charter member and sponsor for, we just turned three and are so proud of our achievements.)
Wow, that is great.. charter member and sponsor… amazing.. 🙂
OH no on your fingers!! Glad the diamonds weren’t ruined! Glad you had a nice Easter! I like the title of your book!! Enjoyed your coffee chat 🙂
The more I think about the new title the I think its the one. Everyone involved is regularly saying I’m so over this…Thanks for coming to coffee.
Love the revised name for your book.
Ouch! No fun. I love the new title.
Thanks
sorry to hear about your injury. Jewelry can be replaced. Fingers are a bit harder. Hope everything is healed and the jewelry repaired soon.
Thanks. The hand is great no problems. The jewellery repairs will happen in time.
The rainbooks remind of similar ones I have taken from our patio. Sorry about having to cu your rings off. That happen to many years ago.
Ouch – that photo made me cringe.
Taking photos to share later made it easier to absorb the pain.
Welcome to the coffee share!
Sorry to hear about your hand injury and the rings needing to be cut off—-on the anniversary of you two meeting, no less! Hope that they are easily reparable and that your hand is feeling better, too.
Thanks. I am excited to be a part of your2 coffee share. I was previously running a regular coffee post but it is great to be part of a coffee community.
Nice! Some people join the link-up pretty much every week, while others jump in and out. It’s nice to have a variety of perspectives and people in the community. 🙂
