Joys and Concerns

Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?

...Water, water spirit spinning round my head
I'm so glad that I'm not dead...

Quotes from Quest, conflict workshop and heartsongs :)

Joys:

I have just spent one of the most exciting and relaxing weekends of my life with my lovely family, laughing, learning and taking time out
I feel more positive than I have done in a long time, especially about myself
I have learned a lot about ways I can move closer to the person I aim to be
It is our wedding anniversary tomorrow and I'm trying to appreciate Phil more - he deserves it!
Chloe and I had a lovely day with lots of love and no cross words, despite extreme tiredness
Finn and I had a really chilled out day today with lovely music, baking and lots of cuddles
I've been blessed to share the company of wonderful people this weekend and this afternoon
Phil has pictured our dream life (setting up a retreat centre) becoming a reality sooner than we'd hoped (within the next twenty years was the original goal...)
I feel positive that the negativity in the world is not hopeless, and that many people care.

Concerns:

I'm still a sleep-deprived zombie!
I wish I had more time to do the things I think are good for me (yoga, eat more good food etc)
I wish the world didn't revolve around money
I'm afraid this positivity will crumble in the face of PMT and I'll become a hideous banshee next week.

Get busy living or get busy dying

(Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption)

Love and positive stuff to anyone reading, fingers crossed this calm, in-control me can fight that PMT off!!
