cold tea and sympathy

I don't like the days that are so busy that I only have time for a couple of sips of tea and then am needed to do something else. Not even time to blog, or look at an interesting link sent as encouragement from a friend, that requires 12 consecutive minutes of sitting down time. There has been considerable sympathy, a kind fb message, and I'm still v grateful to the friend who rang me on sunday. I think the problem may be me not getting a sufficient daily quota of hugs. tho I've realised I do enjoy waking up and having the solidity of the dog at my back, or between my ankles, so surely that must count for something?
Today I have seen and like this:

"real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable" Theodore Vail

I definitely need to give fear the boot as I'm doing reasonably ok with the actual difficulties, it's only the perceived ones, the what might be's, that are dragging me down.

And I also like: it's never too late in the day to start your day over

And so I shall...
