11th October 2018
No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.
Made it through the meetings last night despite barely
having a voice, got to love a head cold that insists on taking your voice with
it, happens to me every time! Still
very quiet this morning but I’m on the mend thankfully, could’ve eaten the
world last night so knew that was a good sign.
Today’s coaching card questions are;
What gives your life meaning? What gives you pleasure?
This one’s easy for me, helping others gives my life
meaning, being a good person for the sake of it, because it’s the right thing
to do, not because it’ll get me into heaven (I’m a none believer, but I’m sure
if I’m wrong, if he’s the good guy every one reckons, he’ll forgive me for my
doubts!) I believe it’s important to be
the best version of yourself that you are capable of being and to be kind to
others. Appreciate we’re all different
and make a difference where you can.
What gives me pleasure?
Oh again so many things! From
simple stuff like food and wine to deeper things like making a difference to
the world, having an impact on someone else’s life. Being the person that lifts someone or puts a
smile on their face. I love to make
people laugh and feel good about themselves – that gives me pleasure and gives
my life meaning.
What about you?
Also I’ve just heard on the radio, that the 13th
October 2018 is to be the UK’s ‘National Album Day’, celebrating the 70th
anniversary of the album. At 3.33(r)pm
on Saturday, 13th October the British public are encouraged to play
their favourite record. Music is
something else that gives me pleasure, hopefully it’ll be all over the papers
on Saturday and I will suggest to mom that we get the music out, I have the
Stylistics and Dr Who on vinyl which we can play, they were her albums that I
remember hearing over and over as a child.
Mine would be, well if I’m honest I also struggle with favourites but
the first one that came to mind when Vanessa Feltz mentioned it on the radio
was Pink Floyd’s, Wish you were here, not just for the music but also for the
memories that come with it. I can think
of others, but that one transports me to another time and the nearest I got to
having ‘the love of my life!’ I was still too sensible then, realising no
matter my feelings, there was no future there for so many reasons. Still have some lovely memories though. I always did have terrible taste in men,
hence why I chose the single life!
Comment on my blog the album you’d chose to listen too? Let me know a little bit more about you. Yesterday was World Mental Health day, which
is great but our Mental Health is something we need to focus on year round,
listening to music is a great way to escape the stresses of life. For your info;

Let’s all talk more, I find writing my thoughts down helps
too, but you can’t beat a good natter, I love social media, but a cuppa and a
face to face catch up with my bestie beats EVERYTHING!
Here’s to making it through a very long and busy day with
barely a whisper, don’t worry I still get my message across!
