summer?

Sat 26th April: TGF cutting the grass then sitting in the sun with coffee and a book...and TGF Bill Bryson being so funny.

No point living

April 21st: TGF absolutely nothing. No point being alive. Just counting down the days until I am dead. Then it might be heaven it might be hell it might be nothing. Who knows. Got to be better than this though.

Its genetic

Sun 13th April: TGF my Grandad's shed. One of my fave places as a kid, so much interesting stuff. For some reason the glass balls used to freak me out, and I always thought the crab was going to get me. But...still loved it. Think I get my hoarder qualities from him.

You should be dancing

Sat 12th April: TGF reading in bed in the morning... Daffodils in the sunshine as it came through the blinds..shopping online when you should be doing your accounts...80s Cheese and swinging with Kevin. TGF dancing as though no-one is watching.

TGIF

Friday 11th April: TGF Fridays. Made it to the end of a week at school...always thanking God for! TGF for an easier lesson indoors cos it was raining! TGF the girls on Thursday who thanked me for doing their swimming lesson. TGF having the car for the journey home, as it started lashing it down as I left school. TGF lazy freezer tea in front of a DVD. TGF being able to make someone happy just by giving them chocolate. TGF sleep knowing you haven't got to get up early in the morning.

Beautiful things

Thurs 10th April: Just stumbled across my favourite blog in the world..Three Beautiful Things ... The writer describes 3 things every day that she found beautiful or made her happy or...

So even though in my head its been a crap day and I just want to give up, I'm sure if I think hard I can think of three good things, and remember that it was just one lesson that was awful, and just one person that made me cry with frustration. Here goes (and these are the things I TGF..)

1 - My very own Angel to calm me down on the phone when I'm in tears at the end of my patience, and to give me a hug a short while later.

2 - The feeling of riding my motorbike well

3 - Reminders of happy times, making a photo album for Graeme's birthday

4 - See, its easy. I can think of lots.... Coffee with gingerbread syrup in Wests.

5 - The ever present sense of humour Tim possess...in the face of so much adversity its untrue.

6 - Downloading a new album to listen to in the car

7 - Not knowing why, but still spending my own time looking for dance stuff that might engage the Year 9 girls.

8 - Looking forward to a book in bed ...bible notes, then Long Way Around.

9 - The Harley Davidson picture frame on my desk...with its photo of me and my Uncle Chalkie setting off fireworks on my brithday

10 - Danny doing my washing up for me.

11 - The cool smiley on my phone (the one with shades on!).

12 - Buying myself a Britain tour guide... inspiration for adventures (gotta get brave!)

13 - Minstrels...Mmmmmm

Easy....I so need to do this every day... just takes tears to make me realise what i need to focus on... the good stuff, not the nasty people.

'Night world....I'm off to snuggle up in a duvet with my book
