I'm in a bit of a grumpy place. It's probably lack of sleep, I'll try and get an earlier night tonight so I can get back to my cheery self. This morning I was beginning to feel quite irritated - not with anyone in particular cos no-one was to blame. It just was starting to feel unfair. I only wanted the internet to wish someone well and to send off my work report, it didn't feel like too much to ask to have internet access. Anyway it's back now so I shall just be grateful. But I can see how easy it is to start to feel aggrieved with the world, I could feel myself sliding into a "why do I bother" kind of place - if it's going to be so hard trying to do the right thing I might as well just do what the hell I like.
Fortunately for the world the internet is back on my computer so I shall continue to be compliant and nice and good and well behaved and sensible and...
... and take a photo of something I like. I like trees. And texture. So here is a tree I stroked today.
According to a quiz that I filled in by myself so of course may be a touch biased, I am apparently VERY grateful :) It has been said before that I am an ingrate, and I know I certainly can be. And there are definitely times when I really wish things were different. But mainly, I guess, I'm v grateful for all the amazing people I know and all the joy that there is. The quiz followed an article about how expressing gratitude to a partner, or to work colleagues, can make a ma-hoo-sive difference to how people feel - but also about how we feel. So I shall focus on how grateful I am fully internetted up again; that I have people I love in this country even if they're not all right by my side right now; that tea smells lovely; and that I will soon be singing...
