I woke this morning with the (perhaps cliched but nonetheless true) thought that this is it, I really am not going to get another turn at living my life so I do want to make the most of it. I know I've blogged on this kind of thing before, but I certainly need reminding of it often, so I don't apologise for repeating myself :)
And then a friend shared this ace post

There are some brilliant bits in it. Lots we know already but are fundamental:
"You can’t take things too personally, even if it seems personal. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them."
It is a little bit too directive for my liking by the end, but I think anything that encourages us to live the life we want to lead is a good thing :) Especially when it reminds us that there is always hope even when it feels rough. And so, having had a calm discussion with a legal guy this morning, I'm now back to the mortgage application, let's see if we can crack this thing :D
