Beauty for Ashes

Weekend come and gone just like that... Didn't get the beauty rest I need. Wish everyday can feel like a weekend.

The department lunch was a wonderful time of comraderie and I got to see my boss and colleagues in a different light. Take away the demands of worklife and suddenly everyone is on the same ground - with hopes and fears of a human in need. We all wear different hats (and masks) but at the same table with good food and bonding, layers of false fronts just got stripped away... Why can't it be like this real always...?

Don't know what got into C today but he was sure in a combative mood. I guess he was trying to make a point but got carried away and appeared as forceful and aggressive, creating tension. I really hope the girls don't take it personally and the friendships remain intact. C really has a lovely side - a large heart, a friend in need and a filial son. I choose to see the good in him. May I see beauty in all things and look at things through the lens of grace always.
