Ever had one of those days where everything just clicks? Saturday, 15th June 2024, was one such day for Luke Hand. Starting the morning with a coffee and a quick check on his health apps, Luke's spirits were lifted by the news that Princess Catherine's treatment is progressing well. This good news set a positive tone for the rest of his day. Work went off without a hitch, a perfect blend of timing and teamwork.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing - a higher-up's sharp critique on a food safety issue left Luke thinking about the importance of respectful communication. 'Speak to others as you yourself would like to be spoken to,' he reflects, a reminder we could all use from time to time. Luke's day wasn't just about work; he also celebrated a colleague's milestone birthday with flowers that have an out-of-this-world connection – literally!
These blooms are related to one of the first plant species ever sent into space by a 1979 Russian expedition. How's that for a conversation starter? The evening saw Luke participating in a vigil at the Civic Green, advocating for peace in Palestine and Gaza. Despite the cold numbing his feet, the experience was meaningful. Wrapping up the day with some leftover soup and a bit of footy, Luke's mood and energy were steady at 7.3 and 7, respectively.
