You've actually just reminded me of something, shotgun. Thank you!

It's good to focus on the positive. Had a bit of a conversation about this last night at work (there was a little down time where we all stood around and had a chat). Anyway, one of the guys there was saying he was 'cynical' about life, ambition and any opportunities that might come along.

I could feel myself getting defensive and judging him (nobody noticed though, it was just a totally interior reaction on my part). I don't think I want to ever become 'cynical' about things. It feels like a pretty heavy emotion to carry about with you and I'm not sure how I would manage to get up out of bed in the morning and get through the day, if I didn't feel a huge amount of positivity and hope.

I've been really overwhelmed by people's kindness over the past while. Even just the very lovely things people have said to me the past couple of days have really touched me.

A little eye candy always brightens the day too. I'm learning this as well wink
