"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call
"failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down." Mary
Pickford
Not loving losing the hour, it’s thrown my body clock out
so I had a later night last night and now I’m shattered! I’ll be ok after a
cuppa but I wasn’t impressed to be woke up by the alarm this morning, I’ve
usually been awake a while before it’s time to get up.
Yesterday was a
half lazy day for me, I’m getting my house back in order, one weekend at a time,
breaking it down, last week my office, this week my room and the ironing. So I did all the jobs around the house I said
I was going to first, all my ironing is done and put away whilst watching a
daft movie, then when I went downstairs to get a cuppa, I look up the garden
and there’s mom sawing down a tree! Yep,
74 this year she is but when she decides to do something, she doesn’t think
about her age, or her strength or the logic of it, she just starts!
You’ve got to
admire that determination in a person and yes I did go help her with the thicker
trunks, two of them anyway, it was almost down when a chap over the back came
out and offered to do it with his chainsaw, so he did the last trunk, whilst
mom continued to cut up all the branches.
Kept her quiet all morning.
It just goes to
show if you put your mind to something, anything is possible!
So if you knew
you couldn’t fail – what would you attempt to do?
If you didn’t
spend so much time thinking about your weight and the regular day to day chores
that you do, would you like to take on another kind of challenge, or take up a
hobby, or strive to achieve something particular?
Think about it –
is there something you’ve always fancied doing that you haven’t got round to or
didn’t think you were capable of?
I walked Alfie
yesterday morning for an hour and a half, it was lovely and peaceful and calm
walking round the pools at Essington and on days like those I realise how happy
with my life I am. I had lots of
adventures in my 20s and 30s and at the moment I’m enjoying having less
dramatic adventures and lots of calm times.
Me and mom spent hours laughing yesterday, enjoying each others company
and chuckling at totally ridiculous stuff that others wouldn’t get.
I always judge
my happiness with my life by how often I smile and laugh and luckily I’m doing
that a lot these days so I’d say I’m in a good place.
In my 20s I
strove for balance in my life, it was almost an obsession, trying to get
everything in sync, well now I actually think I’ve found it, it’s not what I
thought it would be, it’s actually better which is a bonus.
Lots of people
on a Monday are thinking, “Oh no it’s Monday”, not me, I’m thinking “hell yeah,
let’s get this week started”, I enjoy every day, don’t get me wrong by Thursday
night I’m shattered and ready for a day off, but there isn’t a day of my week I’d
skip even if I could.
If you don’t
feel like that about your life, ask yourself what needs to happen to get you there?
