Day 1514 a thoughtful one…

Where to start today….. safe to say I haven’t been the perfect model of calm, of staying in the present moment or abundant with gratitude today.

I have been the opposite of all of that but I’m not going to give those words power by writing them down.

Things affect you in life that you cannot change. Being angry and irritable and feeling sad does not change any of it. It just allows your ego to wallow in the huff…. The not fair… the why me…

I’ve been in that place on and off all day.

It’s been busy at work and the phone didn’t stop ringing this afternoon. That always helps… but it doesn’t change the ego ranting away in the back of your mind over dramatising every situation that I’m not happy with.

You are allowed to feel sad, but you should sit with it and listen to what it’s telling you. What can you do to change it. If you can make a change, you should do it and if you can’t you just have to allow the sadness time to pass.

Try to focus on the positive and instantly you feel lighter.

I put off writing this tonight as was so negative that I had nothing to say. Writing it out always helps me see it differently.

Anger usually reflects something that we see in others, that we would never do ourselves or doesn’t adhere to the way we live our lives. It can reflect something we don’t like about ourselves and is just misplaced. It’s not a nice emotion.

Life does not always go the way that we expect it to go. There are road works and road closures along the way. These all have to be navigated.

This is all very cryptic for me…. It’s meant to be but it’s really helping me.

We must continue to be grateful for all that we have…. Not to be upset about the things that we don’t have.

I’ve allowed myself to become bitter and twisted today and it’s all my own doing. My reaction to things that haven’t gone my way.

A toddler having a tantrum inside my head.

Well I’m shutting her up.

I’m really tired.

I have no energy.

That could be because I’m not eating well but it’s a vicious circle.

I made chopped tomatoes on toast. Just as I was about to eat it I spotted some mould on the bread…

I laughed as it summed up my day.

But it made me smile.

I’m going to get into bed, beside beautiful Khaleesi and read my book while Craig’s out at work.

K is off to the vet in the morning to get her bandage removed and let the wound start to heal. She could be in the cone of shame tomorrow night bless her.

Here she is right now… trying to catch a fly while she’s tied to the seat.

Yum she says….. 😂 joking… she wasn’t fast enough!

Her hair is slowing growing on her back leg too.

She’s a wee soul. I’ve slept with her since Thursday and she’s no bother through the night. We just don’t want to leave her on her own for that length of time. This was my view when the alarm went off.

Tomorrow is another day.

If things are weighing you down., you know that this will pass and you will get through it.

Just keep calm and know the peace will return.

I can feel it already.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
