Enough with the negative posting, R.

Let’s cheer up a bit, shall we?
Moaning about everything is easy to do, but it doesn’t put me in a good frame of mind, and it’s not what this blog was ever supposed to be about. The more you spot the shit stuff, the more shit stuff you will spot. I mean to say – walk around looking at everything negatively, and negative things will happen to you. Karma. Payback. Call it what you will, it has been proven to me that it exists and it happens and it is a powerful force in our universe. Go out expecting the worst, and the worst is what you will notice. Walk out with a smile and a determination to see the good things, and you’ll start noticing the decent side of life, and the everyday shit will bounce off you without affecting you.
So I apologise for buying into the downturn and highlighting all the stupid behaviour, and I intend to move on with a fun, lively outlook.
Starting now!
First – I am feeling much healthier than I have for weeks. Whatever my weird ‘Long Covid’ thing was, I think it was bubbling away for a while, but I think it is finally behind me now. I have energy, most of my body is pain free and I am waking up each morning without having to drag myself out of bed and reaching straight for the coffee pot.
Second – Philippa hasn’t mentioned ‘another child’ for a while now. It may be that she’s trying reverse psychology, or lulling me into a false sense of security, but it’s nice not to have that seemingly constant pressure to plan for more parenthood.
Third – Sister Sophie is popping down for another visit this weekend. Only staying one night (Saturday into Sunday) but at least she’ll be here and it’ll be great to see her!
