So..towards peace and happiness..

[Sotto]

Oh bless you all - I'm glad not to be boring anyone!! I have been pushing myself this week and am tired this morning, so I'm lurking in bed with the ipad after a late night. I'm helping out at the bookstore later on, and will see my parents this weekend. But other than that, it will be a quiet weekend before another busy week next week.

I had a great night out with a friend last night. We went to a dinner with a tribute band playing. You had your starter, then they did their first set. Then you had dinner and they did their second set. It was great - everyone up dancing and singing along. By the end of the night my legs and arms were aching and I was hoarse from singing.

Life is going to be busy with pre-Xmas events in the coming week. Monday is Xmas meal with bookstore chums, Divorce group Tuesday and Yoga Wednesday. Friday is work Xmas meal. Day out with a friend on Sat, and seeing a live band that evening (but popping into a birthday party between those.) Gosh! My policy of 'accepting all invites' has paid off for sure. I just need to make sure I get a little R&R time too.

I had a look at my work calendar and plan to take a few days off over the Xmas period to give me a quieter couple of weeks. Looking forward to that. I do feel I've been on the road quite a bit lately with work commitments. I saw nice guy at work yesterday - only exchanged a few words, but did get a lovely smile and a wink from him, which was nice

I always appreciate the wise advice on this forum. I recall joining and reading many impassioned posts about how the forum was truly a lifesaver. And I do believe that is true. I read a post by AJM this morning. What he says often resonates with me and today he posted about the imperative to - live a good life and be a good person - these are the areas to focus on, and I am trying to do that.

Have a lovely weekend all, and enjoy some pre-xmas treats and activities xx
