I must read this again

jonathan-livingston-seagull

A very inspirational book when I was a lot, lot younger.

Maybe I should read it again?

Has anyone read it and agree with me or have any comments?

Can anyone help please?

old lady computer

Whilst I have not had many comments/chats on my articles, the ones that I have had do not show when I view?  I would like others to be able to see others comments as it may hopefully prompt more!

I am a total newbie to all of this and have searched to find my answer with no luck.  I also do not understand ‘computer speak’ and have become rather lost when trying to find how to solve?  If anyone could please let me know in ‘idiot’ speak, I would be tremendously grateful 🙂

More than 50 shades of grey….

Cornish slate

…..in Cornish slate I’m sure and I have found great pleasure learning how to use my Dremel Christmas present on some lovely free pieces from our garden.

Apologies if you think my title was/is misleading I guess but then so are a lot of newspaper headlines!

My dilemma is that my lovely Mum is 85 years of age next weekend and I want to give her a present obviously.  I now have minus zero money so I had the idea to make her a house name plate.  The only cost would be my time and I do seem to have a lot of that these days.  First practice went well, I managed the depth necessary so I am looking forward to continuing and if I come up with anything like a decent finished product, I might even show it on here!

By the way , for anyone who has read my more recent articles, no I have not sorted myself for tomorrow, no I do not know what is going to happen but have decided to not worry or fret, just be prepared and face it by being stronger than I have ever been.

Sunday silence ~ crescendo!

crescendo

I woke to the tiny little wrens singing, no ‘people’ noise, I knew it was Sunday.  I made a cup of tea while my partner quietly caught up on desperately needed sleep. A light frost was present, the blue sky was merely dotted with puffy bright white clouds. Yes it was cold but somehow I did not feel it, I just sat and cleared my mind.  If this was meditation, it felt good.

Tomorrow I have to find so much strength, clarity, understanding and self worth. I may as well be heading for some big first appearance in front of thousands and yet I just have to face my employers and not accept their behaviour or at least I now need to have answers, dates, times, deadlines.  I have to be the one taking charge, asking questions, setting deadlines, something I have never done before.  Honestly it terrifies me but I must not show that.  I must not crumble.

I also need to ‘man up’ and get some proper help when it comes to at last dealing with the debt. I will find free professional help and move forward. Oh hell, just reading this back is scary but I MUST do it all.

You can do it Anne

yes you can

you are stronger than you think

it will be fine

your journey is at a crescendo

ride it with strength

(look forward to what comes after)

and then…….

I shall be strong

I am no ‘spring chicken’ but this verse I had to re-blog. I am literally trying now to stand up and not let my situation ruin my life. Thank you.

Just one pay day away…….choices?

mental-strength

Bad, bad day 😦

Work have dumped on me ……..suddenly I now have no more pay, zilch, nothing from right now, no money to pay any bills, buy food, rent etc etc etc ….. Still employed by them though!  They said this would not happen ~ they lied 😦

Choices ~ life is all about them.  The way I see it, I now have a crucial choice to make :-

Crumble and sink back into the darkness I’ve known so many times before and repeat my life cycle as before

OR

straighten myself up, swallow my fear, face my creditors with the truth, fight off the gloom and take control. Show them that despite being in an incredibly vulnerable place both mentally and physically, they cannot get away with this.  I must not sit back and accept.  I must challenge and must not be put off because of who they are.  They have mis-guided and ill informed me and I trusted them.  They must make this right.

***I did initially crumble but albeit with some fragility I am doing my best to do the latter***

Please wish me luck and accept my apologies as having previewed this post it is not that well written but I understand why. I am rather ‘all over the place’ right now.

Arachnophobia & persistance

Spider, spider on my wall

onward and upward I watched you crawl

feared by so many yet you have what they need

you to try, try again until you succeed!

Keep trying!
