Things that make you happy?

16^th December 2017

Once upon a time you were a little girl/boy with big dreams that you promised you’d make real one day.  Don’t disappoint yourself.

Things that make me happy?

Now there’s a question for you to think about!  Even when I’m poorly I can think of something.  Warm tea, central heating, a hug, caring messages.

Things that I’m grateful for?  Another good question you should ask yourself daily, this week it’s actually been my job for a whole different reason, I haven’t been well but my members have been awesome and lifted my spirits, the trainees have come to my rescue by saving my voice and my boss has been her usual supportive awesome self.  I won’t be able to call her that after the end of this month, I’ll have a new one, he has big shoes to fill but having met him, I’m sure he’s gonna do a great job.

I bought myself a diary for 2018, it’s actually Dawn French’s ME . YOU a diary, I’d recommend it as a stocking filler for sure, it’s more than just a diary, Dawn’s written in it too.  There’s not a great deal of space in there, 2 A5 pages to a week but it’ll be used for my appointments and also as a bit of a self-awareness book as there are questions in there.  On days I have time - I’m not committing to doing anything every day because that puts pressure on and takes away the pleasure – I will jot down what I’m grateful for, or maybe finish these sentences;

Currently I’m…

Listening

Loving

Eating

Drinking

Feeling

Wanting

Needing

Thinking

Enjoying

So if it was today the answers would be

Currently I’m…

Listening to Automatic by the Pointer Sisters

Loving the fact it’s Saturday and I can rest up for two days

Eating but not really enjoying it as got the lurgy

Drinking water – keeping my fluids up

Feeling a little better than I did yesterday

Wanting to be well before my Christmas break

Needing to get a wriggle on, I have to get to work

Thinking even though I have the lurgy, I’m content with my lot

Enjoying thinking about the answers to these questions and will enjoy doing it throughout the year, even if it’s only once a week, it might become part of my Sunday morning blog ritual.

Your turn, if you’ve read this via Facebook, you can post your responses in the comments boxes, go on give me something to read whilst I’m chilling later.

Right that’s me, I’m off to make myself look semi-presentable, here’s to a lovely weekend before Christmas – yeah I just realised that too!

Have a good one BeYOUtiful. xx
