Work Team Building Session

Hey there all! I trust everyone had a great weekend - even though today we're feeling quite blue again. LOL! I must say, my last few days went by so quickly, I thought it was Sunday morning today!

Friday I was lucky enough that the work had a team building session - we started real late (from 09h00) and the idea was 6 teams (with six team members each) make a fresh brew of potjiekos, to be judged after three (3) hours. My team made a normal beef pot with some breadsticks (roosterbrood) on the side... got us a mention and 3rd place.

Welcoming: Everyone just waiting on the rules.

One of the teams had a very interesting theme - like a "homeless" theme, which everyone thought was quite original. There were cardboxes and zink mugs & plates for everyone, with a hearty vegetable stew / pot.

But all in all - everyone had serious fun... But what do you expect with an "open bar?" LOL!

What a beautiful morning

When was the last time you experienced a sunrise, or sunset?

I was lucky enough to catch the first rays of the sun over the Helderberg Mountain range on my way to Kuils River station this morning. It took my breath away and made me realise how great my God is. That no matter what happens in life, He will make a way for me and you.

Then, it got me thinking. If He will make a way for us, why are we in a constant rush? Where are we going? Are we truly needed there? As I'm always earlier these days (thanks to Public Transport) I decided to take some time out BEFORE I get to work (in Cape Town) - to settle my mood - try and break some routine.

So I opted for a nice cuppa coffee and muffin (not that I can afford it) - got me a lovely seat in St. George's Mall Street - and watched the people go by. A really nice "time out."

I must say: I was relaxed, happy and full of energy when I got to work. I had the notion that "nothing will get me down today." All because of a little break, catching some rays, all before work!

Here's hoping that you will find time for yourself as the year winds down, that you'll try to get a sunrise or sunset in - and if you do - if you could share it with a loved one. God bless, JoJo-RSA
