reach out and touch

Yesterday I was happy to fulfil a request from a stranger to give her a hug - I'm hoping we will become friends but we'll see. I was also pleased to give a couple of massages to people I was hanging out behind. As you know, connection is so very important for me. Skype is an improvement on telephone conversations but it's a poor substitute for a cuddle.
Some days I shine and put myself out there, and can feel the buzz of reaching out.
Today started out productive but I've been floored by a request to get another house valuation and then other things just seem so much harder. Time to go give encouragement to others methinks, see if that Buddhist thinking works...

  1. I think my computer is poorly. Ben's recently had a declutter of it but still it won't let me play on facebook, or close my Word docs, and today it told me the only friend I had on spotify was the stranger I started following cos she has good music taste.
    Tomorrow I don't get to sing :( I'm going to be at a cub disco. There had better be good music and lots of dancing. I sooooooooooo need a boogie to ditch my doubts and responsibilities for the world...

  2. Today has been such a sad day. We're about to watch "Up!" which I have never seen but understand is about grief - chances are i'll not be getting any happier soon... but I will be snuggled with my kids, and being in contact - esp physically - with those I love is my bestest thing in the world.
