Do not take life too seriously. You will never
get out of it alive. Elbert Hubbard
I had a very chilled out day yesterday, did
the couple of hours of paperwork that needed doing, then decided stock take
could wait till today. Instead I nipped
to the shop and bought a cooked chicken so I didn’t have to cook and came home
and settled down in front of the tv with my mags. I couldn’t believe the lack of smiles whilst
in Sainsbury’s though, everyone seemed a bit miserable despite the sunshine.
Life’s full of so many things that are worthy
of smiling at that I find it difficult to watch unhappy people. Alfie’s just provided us with one such
moment, I could hear him going down the stairs and an additional noise of “clunk,
clunk, clunk”, I assumed he’d got his lead as he often drags it about, but moms
just come up to tell me he’d got my hairbrush stuck in his chin so it was
hitting every step :D
If you’re not feeling the happy vibe or you’re
in a gloomy mood, if you’ve nothing on the horizon to look forward to, then try
this; “Act as if…” it’s the slogan that people in recovery use. It means act as though things are as you want
them, keep positive, act positive, brighten up, act as if things are good and
looking up for you.
Sometimes you have to do some positive
self-talk. It can change your attitude
and turn a bad day around. Take a look
at all the good in your life, there has got to be so many things to be grateful
for.
I realised yesterday that I need to make time
to do some of the things I enjoy doing, I walked round Hobby Craft looking at
all the things in there and thinking mmm I wanna do some of my crafting, I
haven’t touched it for so long and I have an entire cupboard full of stuff, so
that’s on my to do list now too :D
I just found this website that isjust awesome, with help from old and new friends, Candy Chang turned the
side of an abandoned house in her New Orleans neighborhood into a giant
chalkboard where residents can write on the wall and share what is important to
them. Before I Die
is an interactive public art project that transforms neglected spaces into
constructive places where we can discover the hopes and aspirations of the
people around us.
I think that’s such a fabulous
idea don’t you, I’d write Before I Die I want to help as many people love and appreciate
themselves as possible.
What would you write; Before I
die I want to……
What about changing the sentence
a little to “Before I DIET I want to….” How would you finish that sentence,
Before I DIET I want to decide it’s
going to be the last time!
Before I DIET I want to accept
that I’m only going to make changes that I will continue with forever.
Before I DIET I want to…. (Your
turn)
Hopefully it won’t end with ‘eat
lots of doughnuts!’
Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the day, smile and
be happy xx
