A long week!

This week has actually been quite tough for me. Not in any sort of physical pain way, thank goodness. Just in that this week was my first week officially managing the shop that I work at, and it's just different I guess. I tend to take responsibility very seriously so it's going to take a bit of getting used to. I was so tired at the end of every day, and I had so many things running through my head all the time. Having said that this week came and went and we all survived so I guess it wasn't so bad.

I got to do some singing with a friend this week too. Which helps me so much, I NEEEEED a creative outlet like I need food! haha. I need to find more things to do!

I just can't believe it's a saturday night and no-one is out and about?!?! Living in a small town can be very dull sometimes. Oh well not for too much longer anyway! It's going to be wierd leaving here again, but it's something I need to do. I feel very much like I'm wasting my time, well maybe I feel like I'm not enjoying my time as much as I should here.

I have to stay positive, I've learnt SO much since I've been back here. I have much more confidence in my self too. I just hope I can find a home for myself easily where ever I may go in life. I was looking at some photos my friend has posted of her travels, that makes me get even itchier feet!!

I guess I don't really have any reason to worry about moving away, if it all goes wrong I can just go somewhere else, or come back here?? There is always an option of some sort.

Well I think I might go read my book. This is the start of my week off so I intend to enjoy it!

Here is a picture of a bird I saw at the zoo last weekend, he was cool, and beautiful and came to have a good look at us after he got bored with his nut! hahaha

much love x

A weekend in the sunshine.

I have had a lovely weekend. I haven't been out partying at all, but I have been spending some time outdoors. It's been nice weather I went to the zoo yesterday, which is always such a fun day. I love Cotswold Wildlife Park, it's lovely! Then Sam made me watch Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, which I LOVED!! I'd never seen it before and it was amazing. :)

Today I've been out in the sunshine a lot too, I went to see my old housemate as it was her little girls (who I hadn't even met yet!!!) 1st birthday! I'm afraid to say even though I put suncream on I am rather pink in colour now... not cool. I like sunbathing though (yeah I know it gives you wrinkles but I don't smoke so quit yer whining!) I've just had a wicked time the last two days. And I watched another film tonight called Danny the Dog, with Jet Li. I also have to say, I loved that too! It makes you want to give Jet Li a big hug!! hahahahahaha!

Hmmmm I should go to bed now, but that means it's monday when I wake up.... sigh... although thats not all bad. Me and Sam have decided to make mondays Music Monday, it's the day we have to practice lots!! hehe. I have to make sure I go to the gym more this week, I have been very slack. I'm starting to feel like I'm seizing up! Not good.

Anyways I'm posting a photo that sums up the feeling of my weekend. :)

Much Love x x

A funny few weeks

And it has been a funny few weeks for me.... I've been quite busy, with work. I went to London to the Natural Products trade show which was really cool but very tiring. It took me a few days to recover from that! I've not been training at the gym as hard lately as my knee is giving my pain every now and then. Which is actually quite annoying. I've never really had anything to stop me from exercising before, other than exhaustion anyways!!

The main thing I have been sad about though is my Molly passed away. I wanted to write a blog about her sooner, but it's been a week now and I've said my goodbye. She was actually the best cat in the whole world that ever lived (in my eyes anyway). Haha, I'm going to miss her little face. I can only hope that I gave her happiness in her life like she did in mine. Thats all we can ever hope for right? I feel kinda silly when I get so emotional over a cat, but she was a friend too, and part of my life for a good 10 years!!! So yeah, I've been a bit sad the past week, cos of that.

Life is funny right now, I feel like I need to plan something to look forward to, cos at the moment it feels like the rest of the year is stretching out endlessly in front of me!

So thats what I am going to do. Make plans.

Anyway, here is a picture of my (late) gorgeous best cat ever.

May you rest in peace Molly x x

Being Connected

The reason for my lack of writing another blog for a couple of weeks is because we've had no internet for a couple of weeks. Also my mobile phone was out of action for a week... it was odd, I felt kind of out of touch, no mobile no internet. We're all so used to being connected all the time, it's wierd when we aren't. I am, as all of us probably are, contactable 24 hours a day.

We're always so plugged in, it's kinda wierd when you think about it. It was quite nice to have to call people on my landline, or drop in on them where they worked to arrange stuff. Don't get me wrong, having my mobile back is awesome, and having the internet makes life much easier.... the other day I was just thinking about something and thought, oh hey I'll just look it up.... but I don't have a library at my fingertips!! aah it was frustrating.

So I'm back online, contactable!

Hooray!

The photo I'm gonna put on here is of my orchid which a certain lovely man bought for me.

Today really IS a new day

I know its a cliche but it's true. People seem to wait for a certain date or event or something to decide that, that is when they will do the things they always wanted to. Rather than saying "This is how I want to be, I'm going to be like that from today" people make excuses, "Oh well I can do that but I can't possibly today because of...." what ever the excuses.... they are just that they are excuses and not real reasons.

It's important to know when you are holding yourself back, we are all guilty of it. And it's just a case of doubting our ability to be a certain way. So have confidence and take a deep breath, because TODAY is a new day - and you know what, today could be the day that you start working towards your dreams.

You don't have to do everything you ever dreamed of today, but you can make a start on it. So here is to Today, and starting to follow our dreams, however big or small they may be. Here is picture of me doing what I love most, to make sure I stay focused on what I want to do in life.

Good Luck

Feel Amazing
