I will focus on all that was good yesterday - sorry if you'd like updates on the harder bits but that's not appropriate sometimes. I am aware that after so much hurt this weekend, it is buzzing under the surface and I know I'll have to work really hard at not lashing out. People who are hurting can be so dangerous, and I don't want to be passing the hurt on. Thankfully I have my regular counselling call tonight - that makes such a difference! And it's good to be aware of the struggle - means I can be mindful of it and will be as kind as I possibly can to myself and others :)
Sunday school was ace, we created such a profound list of wants vs needs. We concluded holidays a want but rest a need, brain and organs a need whereas good health is a want, and they spoke about fame and celebrity status too. I had a good discussion with someone as to if knowledge is an essential to life's survival, or a desirable - we figured it may be both.
My boyfriend took me out for a drive in the afternoon, a concept that I associate with being old (he assures me it's not) and something I struggle with as it has no purpose other than recreation, which I never really get as a purpose. It is so wasteful of fuel and so hard for me to enjoy when I know others can't enjoy that kind of luxury. However, I totally appreciated the thinking behind it as he wanted to help me take my mind off things, and it was lovely to see the daffodils and the lambs. It's just the sort of thing my Dad does for my Mum so I tried to focus on that aspect - I'm so lucky to have met him :D
We didn't have communion yesterday but I did come across this which is rather lovely, and reminds me how proud I am to be part of a church where children taking communion is the norm:

The sun is shining today. Maybe today I'll try and write a few things for my jar, I've not done that in ages.

My minister lives opposite where I was working this morning, and so I popped over for some TLC - he's ace. Then home for some comforting beans on toast - it's what my mum made for me when I was off school sick so I've done the same for my girly today and we're both feeling much better :D
