I spent most of yesterday feeling sorry for myself. This happens from time to time, and it's always ugly. There's no good reason for this, in fact quite the opposite: there are many good things in my life at the moment. But misery loves to focus on what we haven't got rather than what we have, doesn't it? And as we all know, misery loves company. It's amazing how quickly I can make a list as long as my arm of things that will change my life and cheer me up.
Anyway, today's a new day, and instead of moping about with the wanties, I've made a plan. Every day this week I'm going to do ALL the things on the list below. They're only little things, and it's not that I don't do these things sometimes, it's that I don't do them every day. And when I don't make things a habit, they get forgotten, and then they loom large and seem too difficult.
Everyday this week then, I am going to:- Do a drawing
- Eat two apples
- Drink 'enough' water
- Wear a bright colour
- Do 20 minutes of some kind of housework
- Do some form of exercise
All photographs were taken at the beautifully romantic garden at Mapperton Hall near where we stayed in Dorset.
