I think we all take this for granted at some stage in our lives - that is, until something happens to make your life suddenly flip and you find yourself going in a totally different direction. Now, that's not always necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that you should be on your toes ready for anything.
I'm a firm believer in the Law of Attraction and all that it brings. I must admit, it has taken me a few years to get out of the habit of expecting nasty surprises that weren't going to happen until I thought of them and wished them into my life.
So, now I wake up in the morning and try not to have any expectations for the day (not always possible but then I'm only human) and after my gratitude mantra I just say 'I'm game if you are -Lets go with the flow!' and let the Universe get on with it!
Works for me ...

Good vibrations
There is something that I need to say about the power of positive thinking (and I don't mean the I'm-ever-so-happy, broad-grinned demeanour that some people annoyingly carry about with themselves whilst preaching 'others have got it worse than you' - That just makes me just want to smack them around the chops with a floppy fish!).
I mean the silent, completely focussed type of thought - The sentient energy when you want something so much that you feel as though you have already got it.
Over time, this is something that I have come to believe in, so I just thought I'd share that thought with you ...
Anything is possible after all :-)

Rude!!
There are ways of speaking to people ... and some just haven't got it. That's one thing that really gets my goat.
There is no need to speak down, patronise or just be plain obnoxious to others - it really isn't clever and the least constructive form of communication you can get.
I am not not happy, just very dissappointed ... but I am choosing to ride over yesterday's shenanigans mainly because there is little point in dwelling on it. It's me who will end up being wound up!
Good manners and interpersonal skills should be added to the curriculum at school ... I'm not a practicing Catholic but being an ex-convent girly, that's one thing that the scarey nuns excelled in.
At least I have the common decency to respect other people and their foibles.

Back on Track
I have been a negligent over the last few months with my writing - or rather, not writing - for which I really feel annoyed with myself. That's all I'm going to say on this matter because it just wastes valuable energy and time, but I just wanted to get this out of my system!
Confession over ... once a Catholic etc etc ...
I have received my marked copy of assignment four from my tutor and feel that I am making slow but steady inprovements in my style.
I will be sending off a couple of my articles to magazines with a lot more confidence now. I just need to make a few changes and I will be happy with the end result.
Onwards and upwards ...

Not a very patient patient!
I don't do 'ill' very well.
The other week I was floored for four days which I can effectively wipe from my life as I slept through them. If I'm not interested in picking up a pen or even turning on my computer, there is something definately wrong.
Anyway, I'm back & in full throttle - I've started to work out ideas for a couple writing competitions, edited some previous work & am back focussing on my Writers Bureau course.
All is well again!

What happened to the weekend?
It's Sunday, the morning after the morning after the night before.
I'm starting to feel human again after an accidental soirée on Friday that included a few friends, some wine and a complete miscalculation of time. The night was, however, for medicinal purposes and, for a few hours at least, a splendid idea.
It meant that all of Saturday, in effect, was written off. I seem to have lost the ability to play out on a school night.
Not like the time when I could party until dawn, have a power nap - two hours maximum - and continue from where I left off with ease well into the next day!
That was when a builder's greasy fry up and a 'hair of the dog' was enough to give me a new lease of life.
Still, I don't really mind staying horizontal in bed for a day.
Speaking of which, I have just ordered myself one of those memory foam mattresses so that any future emergency siestas are more comfortable.
In fact, I may have to do a boozy repeat this Friday night just so that I can get the full effect of my new purchase on Saturday ... purely for medicinal purposes you understand?

Getting easier ...
There's a lot to be said for getting up at silly o'clock.
And I don't mean the fact that no one is around to disturb, annoy, irritate, harass, preach, pressurise, judge etc
(any of the above).
The fact that I can get myself up earlier and write for a few hours before I go to my day job has meant that I've started to look forward to getting up in the mornings - Infinitely better than wishing the week away and only living for days off work!
I've always been organised ... but not very disciplined so this is still early days (pardon the pun!).
I do have the urge to drift off again when the alarm goes. I must admit I did press the snooze button today but my cat - who incidentally is loving this dark-morning-ninja-prowling thing - was having none of it.

The first day ...
Okay, so this is day one of my new regime ... me time between 4.00 - 6.30 AM.
Not a bad start today (eventhough I'm finding it little difficult to focus still) I did manage to drag myself out of my pit!
So, a nice & easy start to the day with a few words and a smile.
It's so serene this time of the morning ... nothing about ... even my cat has gone into shock but still embraced the outside world full on!
Maybe I should consider a career as a milkman??

The Beginning ...
Something has changed in my life ... recently, I mean.
For the better ...
Can't quite put my finger on what it is but I feel that I've got a new lease of life.
I'll rephrase that ... I mean, I feel that I'm getting my old life back again!
The cloud of hopelessness, that has been hovering directly above my head for some time, seems to be dissipating. My personal storm is passing and I am feeling so much stronger that I can get on with my life with a feeling of relish and worth.
It's lashing down with rain today, the days are starting to get shorter but it's still warm outside - It is an absolutely beautiful morning!
The urge to write again has become so strong that my 5am starts have become welcome blessings - There is also something quite satisfying about beating the sun to it, although I don't think that we'll be seeing much of it today anyway...
And so,
I'm going to spend my day catching up from where I left off and watch the raindrops trickle down my window.
