Day 1532 today’s word is focus…

Not sure what going on but another word popped into my head today. Focus.

I wasn’t looking forward to this weekend, having nothing to do.

My first thought today was that most folk would love a whole day with nothing planned.

My second thought was of my constant flight mode, I say I’m happy with my lot, I’m living in the present moment and I’m grateful for all that I have, but I do still keep wishing my day to day life could be different and full of excitement (predictive text gave me excrement!!!!).

So this morning I decided to make the day count.

After walking Calaidh with Holly and Leo, next door, no pics, I took Bhruic and Freya into the field and played with them for a while.

They were knackered!!

In much need of a drink when we got home!

I then settled down to do the second of Mel Robbins, Make it Happen.

I put the fire on again as it’s so cold up here.

(It was so miserable and dark last night, you’d think we were heading into winter!)

I focused on what I would like to see in 6 months time. How would I like my life to be different and what needs to change?

She has a whole workbook that you work through as she talks.

So for 15 minutes every day for the next 6 months, I have to focus and take some action towards my goals.

I hope that I manage to stick to that. 15 minutes is not a lot to ask. Her theory is that if you make some forward motion to change your life then you will knock all of the dominoes over and everything will start to move.

Khaleesi slept next to me as I worked.

Yes I wrapped her in a blanket 🫣😘

I also had a call with my Bank of Scotland Relationship Manager…. Who knew I had one?!?

I was an hour and 15 minutes on the call and a lot of it was spent reiterating what I had already said. It would go a lot faster if business policy was not to repeat everything I have just said for clarity. It would be better if we could talk normally.

Still, I got some good information and we have another call scheduled in a few weeks.

I’ve opened two savings accounts, one will take the roundups from everything I purchase with the card and the other just a small amount every month that hope will add up to a holiday fund, without me noticing!!

It really is a sales tool but, if they are willing to take the time out to invest in me, I will listen to what they have to say.

I listening to my intuition. I know I need to make some changes. I’m on it.

We had a lovely treat today and went to Gro Coffee for lunch.

I had my favourite, Breakfast Taco, but I replaced the chicken with Tofu and the fried egg with Humous.

We had a coffee and cake (to share) I could hardly finish my half of the cake!!

Now I say it was a treat. That cost us £49.10 !!! I couldn’t believe how much it was and was convinced they got it wrong… but when you add up you can get close. It was never the cheapest place but I think all the prices have gone up since we were last there.

I’ve sat in the sunroom for the rest of the afternoon, opening bank accounts and writing this.

I’ve taken a few pics too… I’d changed the camera settings on my phone.

I like the results.

It’s been a lovely day.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
