A few weeks ago when I was absolutely stressed to the max, I took a weekend off and went down memory lane to a town called Toowoomba (strange name but real) where I spent 4 years of sweating buckets for exams and assignments and many innumerable sleepless nights studying for my uni qualification. The town hasn't changed that much, other than it's browner and more parched than the one I remembered due to the drought we are currently experiencing. My visit coincided with the annual Carnival of Flowers and at this time of the year, all the flowers seem to come alive, despite the water restrictions! Apparently, trucks of recycled sewer water were brought in to water the plants. Luckily it wasn't smelly!
Seeing the carpets of flowers, I came to reflect my last couple of weeks. Despite the water restrictions and the onset of drought, these flowers still fumbled its way out of the soil and fought for its survival to blossom. So, stresses at work are challenges we need to fight to get ahead and blossom in our role but damn those stresses - there is only so much my little mind can take before it feels like it's going to explode!!
