Back to a bit of normal

I was just reading back over my last post, wow was I mad. Sorry about that bit of negative mental spludge but thanks so much for your thoughts it really helped a lot. I don't usually have brain wattage shortages like that so I was probably due one. ;o)

I'm glad it didn't last. I went to a pump class at the gym at lunchtime on Friday so that took the edge off & we went to play squash after work. So I really hammered there too so that defo helped. I'm so glad I did cos I would have seriously been pissed me off with myself if I carried it over to the weekend. But all good, got home & was pleasantly tired from all the physical activity that day so slept really well.

Sat & Sun passed in a bit of a blur of, the weather was fab, its so nice to have it back. Went for walks, went to the library, visited friends, did household stuff, TV & basically chilled out. It was really nice, exactly what I needed.

Well now we're back to Wed again & yes I did come into work on Mon, hard as it was but that's mostly the getting up early bit, I'm not a morning person. I wish I was cos when I do happen to be up early I really love the morning time but dragging my ass out of bed is no mean feat I tell you. The snooze button is my friend. :oD

Anyway just a quickie to say hi & I survived & I'm grand really, struggle on. I saw another nice quote so thought I'd share, seemed apt after last weeks challenging day. Hope you're all having a great day.

Challenges are what make life interesting;

overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Feeling good

You know normally I turn on the computer & read others blogs first & then sortta run out of time for my own so today I've decided to write first, read later. Lol.

Its funny every time I look at the title Nina Simone song pops into my head & I start humming. Singing is great isn't it? it makes you feel happy. Although if I burst into song here I may be asked ever so politely to quiet down while they get the men in white coats for me, hehehe. That may just be worth it.

Anyway I'm feeling good cos the award I got yesterday actually made me feel pretty good but it was the passing it on to others & their responses that really cheered me up out of my doldrums. Another thing that made me feel good was yesterday morning while I was getting my ticket for the train the guy in front of me was short 20 cent for his ticket, he was at the change only machine so he had to go & queue again at the notes machine. I got my ticket & I had 40 cent change & I was passing him at the end of the queue & asked him how much he was short & I gave him the 20c & said hope you have a good day. Now that's something totally small but I actually really felt great. It just goes to show you doing something nice for others is its own reward.

Now I know this but I realised its been awhile since I've put that into practice, so now that I have a bit more motivation for life I'm going to try to do more for others & that'll help me.

I firmly believe the soul & the spirit need nourishment just as much as the body & I've been sadly lacking in that recently.

Ok so here's a challenge for you today. To do one totally random act of kindness for someone, it doesn't matter if you know them or not. Try it, it may surprise you.

Other than that I hope you all have a totally brilliant day.
