Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts. Denis Waitley
DAY 4
Still not had a drink and to be honest freakishly surprised at the fact I haven’t wanted one, just shows how powerful the mind can be. Diet wise, I did go out for a three course meal yesterday which was delicious and looked like this;
Trio of pork
I left half of the starter and half of the dessert and had lots of vegetables with the main, guilty of a couple of pieces of bread and butter though!
I’m not feeling great today my throats swollen and sore, I get it every year sooner or later and I’m pleased because it’s been a good while (last year some time) since I’ve had a cold, and especially as I work with the public.
At the beginning of the week I told you I’d read the book “In search of happiness” by Francois LeLord and I was going to give you his happy lessons one at a time but as I’m not feeling 100% and my brains not engaged this morning, I’ll give you them all and you can mull them over this weekend. Then decide whether you’re happy or you need to work on it ;-D
