1st June 2014
Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday! Let it go…
Yesterday was a great day, this time last year we were in Wales for the
week, as we’re not having a holiday this year, yesterday I decided to have a ‘ME’
weekend and forget about everything work related for a few days, of course I
never switch off 100% because my members ask me questions and I can’t ignore
them. However I really did enjoy my day,
I spent some time on my Winnie the Pooh rocking chair, that’s coming along
nicely – slowly but nicely. I enjoyed a
bubble bath to help get the glue off from the rocking chair project, whilst
listening to the radio. I then downloaded a book which Graham Norton mentioned
on Radio 2, called “The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair”, and I decided I’d
read that on the afternoon just as soon as I got back from my massage at the
Chi Rooms which was amazing as always.
After a quick walk round the Co-op for a few odds and ends (I still
haven’t finished my online shop, I wanted to see if I could use up the stuff in
my freezer first), I made us a delicious lunch of southern fried chicken pieces
(I wasn’t in the mood for a curry after all) with salad and roast
vegetables. I then went and sat up the
garden enjoying the calmness whilst reading my book, I love sitting out there watching
the birds and the bees (no pun intended), it was so peaceful. Eventually I came in, then Alfie talked me into a long walk along the canal, then we finally sat down and watched a bit of tv
with mom before having an early night, falling asleep with my book in my
hands. I have to be relaxed to read, I
find it hard to concentrate, but I’ve managed to get through 132 pages which is
really good for me, only another 12 hours of reading according to my kindle (it’s
a thick book apparently!).
Today will be pretty much the same as yesterday, doing whatever takes
my fancy, we may not be having a holiday but we can have some chilled out, work
free weekends, we all need to find a balance don’t we because life really is
short, it’s too precious to waste, just a couple of people who aren’t doing
that spring to mind this morning, the first would be Natalie, you remember the
remarkable young lady who got cancer earlier this year and had to have an
hysterectomy, she’s not 10 weeks clear and because instead of wallowing she
decided to do something positive, she’s now raised to raise £1,421 for Cancer
Research UK!
I know sometimes people wonder if there’s any point in all this
fundraising as Cancer still kills, but this research helps to save more and
more people every day!
One lady who constantly makes me smile with her love of life is a lady
called Liz, she’s tireless, here’s me in the praise of slow whereas Liz is all
about ‘what next…” and fair play to her;
Liz is living proof you can be a long term survivor of cancer, now in
her 40s, she’s been 23 years clear and has a beautiful daughter and has lived a
very full life. Even though this year hasn’t’
been great for her for personal reasons, she’s fighting through those troubles
and her strength will see her through the other side.
She’s even a little bit of a superstar these days as she’s in this week’s
copy of Woman magazine talking about getting her bikini body, almost 50 and
looks like this (amazing);
Yeah however you choose to live your life, because whether you like to
admit it or not we all live the life we choose, make sure it’s the one you
want. If you’ve just realised it isn’t –
then it’s time to decide how to change it!
Enjoy your day BeYOUtiful. xx
