Never forget to remember

A boat with a Swedish flag travels along a tree-lined waterway under a partly cloudy sky.

Today I spent the whole day working in the Swedish archipelago. A colleague and I traveled around by water taxi, visiting several fantastic islands of varying sizes.

On days like this, it almost feels wrong to call it work. It feels more like a vacation. Beautiful weather, open water, stunning nature, and places that seem straight out of a fairytale.

Of course, not every workday looks like this. There are only a handful like these each year, but I’m just as grateful every time. And I try to carry that sense of gratitude with me throughout the year.

Some days, like with any job, can be really tough. You start longing for home before the day has hardly (no pun intended) begun. Everything just feels like a drag.

That’s when it’s perfect to pull out that mental sticky note about gratitude. Sometimes it’s hard to find, but we all have one.

Never forget to remember it.
