Take a moment each day to notice that I love my life

for listing the good things about each day :)

Philadelphia Freedom stuck in my head, out of nowhere. I think this means I am bouncy and excited!

Oh Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you

Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine a light shine a light

Shine a light won’t you shine a light

Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do

usually I am a grouch coming home but today… my boss told me just before I left work that we’re going to get a minion admin support assistant, which really goes to show that he’s heard my concerns and really wants me to stay and values me. It was raining all the way home and I fell asleep on the train, but coming back to a nice clean flat, making a dinner I really wanted, working out a cunning way to use the bathroom heater to dry everything, and actually looking forward to getting on and writing those letters… just for this moment, everything seems perfect…

I had 3 hours’ sleep and a cold, I have totally kicked arse today. No mucking about, on track with all the things I said I would do today towards my goals, not griping about work, even being slightly cooperative, and not focusing on feeling like crap. I deserve a gold star.

in the middle of the park, as a little cloud crossed the sun, and being able to watch the whole expanse go shady, work out which direction the sunshine was going to come back from, and waiting for it to spread over me.

as you turn me on

and echoes of laughter

I’m alive

and feeling like I’ve used the weekend satisfyingly.
Ending the day with fewer problems than I started with.
Finishing most of my goals for the week.
Having time to do something really silly for someone very special and it working out better than I thought it would.
Feeling calm.

crossing the Thames just before 11am on a Sunny September Sunday morning, being out and about while most people are still sleeping, having stayed away from home for the first time in almost 6 months. I don’t know why exactly, but it all felt so refreshing!

posting at exactly (ahem, well, more or less!) 9:00, I have just finished all the tasks I set out for myself this morning, at exactly 12:00. That feels so good! I resisted all the normal major procrastination impulses and just got it done, even though it wasn’t all easy. And I can have the whole afternoon to do randmin!

Off I go for my walk…

queasy on the bus this morning (who would have thought that Archers and lemonade was capable of producing hangovers? or maybe it’s a sausage-hangover??) so got off at Hyde park and on my wander through I sat by the fountain for a bit and wrote in my journal. The wind was cool, the trees were wet and lively, the air was fresh and the splashing water was so soothing…

A lot of good things have happened recently.
