I slept right until the alarm today. Didn’t hear the Scottish Dog Behaviourist get up to start work. I was out for the count!
I still felt really sluggish and couldn’t really wake up but I have to say I’ve had a much better day that I did yesterday. Thankfully.
I’m a lot less antsy. A lot more focussed.
I listened to a really good podcast today that struck a chord. It’s called “How do you cope? ” by Ellis and John.
The always start by asking each other “how’s your shame this week?” John put my life into perspective. 😂
He said he’d been at an event that finished later than expected and he was 25 minutes walk to the train station and was going to miss his train. He said it could of gone one of 3 ways.
1. Fume that the event finished late, try to rush for the train, which he was never going to make, talk down to himself the whole way saying how daft he was for not noticing the time, how ridiculous it was to try and catch the train. Of course typical that he is single and no one can come and pick him up. How useless he must be to not be able to keep a girlfriend… what a waste of space he is…. 😔
2. Take time to walk down the road for the later train, enjoying the view and appreciating the new surroundings 😊
3. call a taxi 😂
I often still end up in option 1 and that’s where my head has been these last few days. I’ve been all over the place and I’ve tried hard to calm the whirlwind in my mind.
I am so lucky that most of my life is spent living option 2 now. ♥️
Been with the crochet hookers tonight so this is a late one. It’s the calmest I’ve felt all night listening to the ladies talk about their week. They’ve all had such hardship recently with parents or in-laws passing away. Puts life into perspective.
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
