Feel Good Friday - Brag Day!

[Amanda Barber]

For this week's Feel Good Friday, I'd love to give everyone an opportunity to toot your own horn📯, brag about yourself 🎉, and give yourself a big ol' pat on the back 💪!

What have you accomplished lately that you're proud of? If you can't think of anything you've done recently, what's a top accomplishment in your life, or what are you working towards?

Lately, I've been eating healthy food, getting in my daily walks, and rekindling my love for resin art (my creative escape)! Oh, and I recently got married 💍✨ Juggling all of it has been a rollercoaster, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come and how I’m showing up for myself each day. 😊

Little things but huge for me!

[Susan Waldrip]

@Mahima_miniOrange_SSO , I wouldn't consider ANY of those things "little" -- good for you!

[Amanda Barber]

Ditto what Susan said - none of these are a small feat to stick with. Keep it up, @Mahima_miniOrange_SSO 👏

[Mahima_miniOrange_SSO]

Thank you so much, @Susan Waldrip and @Amanda Barber 💛

Sometimes it's easy to overlook the small wins, but your encouragement reminds me they're worth celebrating. Grateful for this amazing community! 😊✨

I'm proud to be part of an amazing team that's making a real impact.

While I don't like to brag, I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to grow and contribute to our team's success

[Susan Waldrip]

Sounds like you have a good outlook on your work, @Humashankar VJ , glad you're part of this Community!

[Amanda Barber]

It always feels good to be part of something that "feels good" 😊

Thanks for being part of the Community and I hope you feel that same energy in this space!

My most recent thing I'm proud of is getting my mom to admit that I'm capable of cooking Easter dinner, while she relaxes in the living room. I'm sure she will be my taste tester and fixer when I make the kapusta (sweet and sour cabbage) tomorrow, since she's the expert on that. It's better to make that a day ahead. 👩🏻‍🍳

My sister lives around the block, so we'll see if she comes over more than 30 minutes before dinner time to help at all, but that will still be enough time to make her mash the potatoes. 😊

[Susan Waldrip]

@Barbara Szczesniak , I know from experience that that's a HUGE accomplishment! I'm sure Easter dinner will be fabulous! ☺️

Just finished a new JSM project and got another department team up and running in PROD. They were great to work with, and all seems to be going well so I'm happy for them.

[Amanda Barber]

Amazing, hope everything goes smoothly, @Barbara Szczesniak!

 

[Amanda Barber]

Awesome to hear, @Susan Waldrip - kudos!!

[Barbara Szczesniak]

The dinner was a success, though my mom felt the need to peel the potatoes. I guess that wasn't too strenuous. The turkey did take 90 minutes less than it said it should, so we had some juggling in there, but it all worked out. Everyone ate too much. My sister also made 2 desserts, so we all ate too much again a couple hours later. 😁

[Amanda Barber]

Sounds perfect to me, @Barbara Szczesniak - so glad to hear it was a (tasty) success!!

Proud to call so many Atlassian Champions friend!!

[Andy Gladstone]

🎺 super active this week with the wife and kids! Spent a ton of time with the family this week during the intermediate days of Passover making new memories - Pickleball, Archery, Baseball, Cycling, Running together. It’s great to feel healthy and active with the ones I love most!

[Amanda Barber]

Sounds so amazing, @Andy Gladstone 💜

Being a community champion. Spending more quality time with Family.

Finishing a recent Jira and Confluence Cloud Migration. Always a challenge but feels real good when the journey is complete. Somewhat feels like doing a running event where you are showing up each day to take on the day's training. Then when it comes to the day when do the run and cross that finish line...you get that huge surge of joy and reflect on all those moments that got you to this point. I am not doing justice describing that feeling. If you know, you know. 

[Amanda Barber]

Woohoo! 🙌 That's a great explanation, @Benjamin - kudos!

After a few years of being mediocre at golf, I decided that I'm going to take golf lessons this summer and work to improve. Just signed up for the lessons so hopefully I can become at least slightly better than mediocre lol

[Amanda Barber]

That's awesome, @Chris Rainey A few years ago, a friend of mine had to participate in a golf outing for work at the end of the summer. We ended up doing lessons with a few other girlfriends and even had a little golf outing of our own on our summer trip to the lake. I was never good, but did have lots of fun! I hope you become less mediocre and have fun doing it! :-D
