Ups and Downs

I think there were two reasons for my starting the blog. One was to reassure people that I am doing well. The other reason I think was to reassure myself of the same thing.

In my Blog I am at my best and most positive and that is an important place to know well. There are plenty of times when I am not feeling so good and the Blog guides me back to that better spot.

When I was young my mother always had a list of issues that prevented her from being happy. She was also a great worrier about things that could go wrong but likely never would.

 On one of our weekend trips to visit her family she was upset the whole weekend because she couldn't remember if she had unplugged the electric kettle before leaving home! Observing her has helped me to see the wisdom of living in the present. It's a idea that has been identified many times but it can be hard to do.

I think a blog helps me to find the golden moments in each day and that is a real help when going through difficult times.
