Back to work today, it went well. I am very grateful for the people I work with, no one expected me to jump in with both feet immediately, and welcomed me back warmly. I sent an email to our team expressing my thanks for the flowers, kind words and prayers. I told them it would take me a couple of days to get acclimated but I hoped by Monday I would be able to make a meaningful contribution to the team again. An email from a co-worker said:
"Why start contributing in a meaningful way now? I think what you've been doing for the last 2 years has been working for you!"
Ah .. home again. It's nice to fit in.

What a FABULOUS comment from your co-worker! That's a gem - such a kind way to break the ice -- with humor.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend & stroll into Monday.
Always nice to be back in a routine and feels comfortable. (well at least normal)
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful colleague! Going back to a normal routine helps for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your loss. I am dreading the day that I lose my mother.
