Reality Check I've been told that our thoughts need monitoring every so often and I reckon they're right. Apparently our minds can be playgrounds for something which is set on pillaging and destroying all that is good and beauty. I wonder if we go about every day with that knowledge? All thoughts which set about tearing ourselves down and denying our true 'beloved-ness' don't have to be true? You don't have to believe those lies or 'truths' that you accept about yourself. You don't have to scavenge around looking for genuine evidence that there's nothing good about you...you won't ever find anything that will stand up in court against Him. I woke up and realised that all that I am is everything I was supposed to be-all that was up to me was to discard what wasn't truly eternally assigned to me. Sure, we're not perfect but man are we loved. So yup I'm alright Jack and what's more, so are you. Just as you are.

Party Night Whinge Once upon a time I could handle an all nighter, a smattering of alcohol and a days full work. Now? Humm Question: why do people insist on having celebrations on a Friday night? Why is Saturday so unpopular?? It's fresh and raring strut it's weekend stuff given a chance or three! You may be thinking that this request for fun to happen post recovery is from someone who's half way thru. Nope, try 31 and someone who's had small people hanging off her every word for the past 10hrs x 5 days. I'm wrecked. Don't be fooled into thinking I don't like a challenge though-give me an hour or two and I'll be ready to party with the best of 'em Zzzzzzzzzz

When Are You Going To Behave Why don't I act like I wish I did sometimes? Why is it, when the opportunity is presented to me on a plate, I don't take the high road and act like the grown up I am? Why can't I be the grown up all the time and not just some of the time? Disappointed city

Stories This is not my 'writing' but I loved it so much I thought I'd put it out in the ether... "Which kind of happiness do you care about? Do you want great memories or great experiences? Do you want a brilliant plot or a great ending? Do you want a story with meaning or one with beautifully constructed sentences? It (all) makes a profound difference to the choices that we make." Brilliant. Now just trying to decide...
