Well hello Bloggets. Here we are at the weekend. What does the weekend mean for you? To some
it’s a break from work, for others no school. For a lot of people, it is time
to get very drunk and be ill all tomorrow. Haha. For others it means a lovely
day out doing something they have been looking forward to for a full week or
more. For others it means getting together with the family and for some it’s a
sad time as you used to gather with your family at weekends but now unfortunately
miles have ended that tradition and for some people the weekend is the same as
any other day. As I have said in other blogs, try to break that sad loneliness this
weekend and do something different. It could be you treat yourself to a take
away meal on a Friday or Saturday night. Or keep the letter or phone call you
make during the week, to a friend for the weekend now. just something to look
forward to. Something I am looking forward to is making a tea recipe that you
will find the link to at the bottom of my blog. I have Roselyn to thank for it.
Remember this, nothing happens to you, it happens for you and
no matter how hard or painful it may be at the time in most cases afterwards,
you can sit back and say, yes, I now understand why that happened when it did. Personally
in life I have wondered why it has been so cruel and I am still wondering but
in some, cases the horrid things that did happen, I now am either pleased they
did work out like that or I at least can understand why they did but sadly we
have to wait to learn and that waiting game can sometimes take years before we
get the answer.
At the start of the year I had a really good feeling. I just
felt like this was going to be our year and I felt so positive. I was so glad
to see the back of last year. I will forever miss my lovely friend Kinzie I still
go to the phone to call her. The feeling when reality enters my thoughts that I
can’t phone her any more is so sad. But I feel her around me. I hope this doesn’t
mean she can’t get to where she needs to be to have her life but the selfish
part of me loves the fact, I can feel her spirit. It makes me feel so good as if
she is looking out for me. She was a believer and I know she would be chosen to
be an angel on earth.
Something out of this
world has given me support this year. I feel so content and for the first time
in my life, I feel self pride!
I have been in the gym every single day for almost two weeks
and though I haven’t lost a single inch, I have lost 3 and a half lbs in weight
but moreover, I feel so much fitter. I’m two weeks without bread and that is a
huge goal in my life and I don’t even miss it now. I just have to avoid food
that I love with bread, like soup.
Because my Husband is on a starvation, sorry, healthy eating
regime, we haven’t been eating potatoes. With potatoes for me especially if
they are mashed, comes loads of butter. I have also gone onto fully skimmed milk.
This is lovely in tea, but not in coffee so I don’t have coffee and that is
good as I can’t drink coffee without having chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, I still
do eat chocolate, sadly, but I have cut down from a bar a day to one every
other day. It doesn’t help that I have a biscuit man who frequents my front door.
he came with his tempting van the other day, I should have told him to give me
a miss for a while, but no, weak Fifi bought a pack of chocolate wafers from
him and they are moreish.
Still managing to grow my fingernails. In fact, I’m typing
with them now haha. Again, something I have never ever been able to do before. The
gel varnish has made them really hard, so that has helped.
What I love about this year, a lot of my readers and friends
are also feeling that this year is a positive one. I wonder why this is? For you
reading this, I really hope you have some positivity in your world today and
for the rest of the year. Let’s take time to read a few positive quotes to
steer us in the right direction?
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to
win or lose.””
Lyndon B Johnson, he was an American politician in the 60’s.
“a good laugh, is sunshine in the house!””
William Makepeace Thackeray. I hope I have that name
correct. He was an English author I think he wrote Vanity fair.
“The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into the room,
is indeed blessed.””
Bennett Cerf. An American publisher, co-founder of American
Random House.
“Correction does much, but encouragement does more.””
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, who was an extremely brilliant
German writer.
My favourite for today, “Find a place inside where there is
joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.””
Joseph Campbell he was an American professor of literature.
“Try to surround yourself with positive productive people
who are good and kind and get rid of those who drag you down or those you come
away from at the end of the day who have made you feel sad or inadequate.
Once you have emptied your life of those people, you have
room for good kind positive people.””
