Life has a lot of sh...The way I see it is like this<br />Life has a lot of shitty bits to it, tough, rough and stressful and whilst I dont mind a little 'honesty' as you put it too much gets me down.<br />For instance - there is a blog of a lady with ME (like myself) but rather than upbuilding and sympathising with her, i end up frustrated and fed up and wishing she would STOP using her blog to ruminate and 'mind-blend' (word used by people with ME to describe the constant mind chatter that they are more prone to than most people and end up even more mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted than they were)<br />To me a blog is a CELEBRATION of the GOOD stuff - no one has a perfect life but when blogging each or every few days; you find that you are looking out for photo opportunities and snapping that pretty 'weed' flower on the kerbside, that colourful patch of garden or a couple of pretty pebbles that just fell together in an artistic pattern.<br />When we write about the good things that happen to us and things we do - we not only appreciate having had the fortune to take part but also next time an opportunity presents itself we do our best to go out and grab it! <br />We end up living in the PRESENT more and that is calming and healing for our bodies and we also feel more love and appreciation for our life and in turn pass this onto others.<br />They say misery loves company and we do all enjoy a good moan (justifiably at times) but then that just sets our listener off moaning too - isnt it much better to share the good times and upbuild one another?<br />I just LOVE seeing a couple of pics and few words on a blog rather than scroll thru acres of type.<br />Anyhoo - lecture over - didnt mean to lecture really as you usually write good stuff.<br />I am doing a daily ( almost daily - i confess) Gratitudes list - little things i am thankful for in my life - am up to 30 a day now and tho i could beat myself up for not doing it everyday - i dont. We need to be kind to ourselves and love ourselves too - dont you find that as women we often 'give' to everyone else with little time for ourself? We need to replenish our own cup from time to time so that when the shitty things happen we can cope with them better.<br />Phew! <br />But please remember that I LOVE YOU LOADS!!!<br />lots of love Millymollym<br />xxxxxxxxmilliemollymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364787588666979678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983334131802574480.post-48727776038827592532012-07-18T04:12:55.251-07:002012-07-18T04:12:55.251-07:00I'm quite a private person, but I think I make...I'm quite a private person, but I think I make it pretty clear that I am not super organised creative beautiful homed blogger of the year.
