Here's my picture of the day....I posted this yesterday on Facebook, have a look and think back to the last time you saw the Bluebells out....life and work run at about a million miles an hour these days and it's easy to let the little things that give pleasure in our lives pass us by. There are things that may happen in your life that make you take stock of what's important, or what you've been missing while every day life pushes you from day to day. Don't wait to be told something bad like a life threatening illness, or the loss of a loved one to make you realise there's more to life than work,work,work.....try lift your head now and then, take a step back and relax taking in the simple pleasures of life. Try to remove the negative aspects of your life....live as positively as possible, you will love the life you then have.
I took this picture in the woods by my house, Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers, I love to see them blanket the ground, while all around them new shoots are coming up, the ferns, the new leaves on the tree's such vivid greens! I love nature and I'm lucky because I get to go out there daily. You can see something beautiful where ever you are. Stop take five and look around you!
I have been having a swell time reconnecting with old friends from school....I am talking friends like Coleen from Primary school, we were four years old when we started school! I remember Coleen was the oldest in our year because of her birthday being in Sept, all these years later and I remember that - a miracle with me, after all my nickname for years has been Jelly or Jellyhead!...I think nothing else has to be said :) ...I love it, and I am in awe of her memory. We went onto the same middle school too, it's really strange, we chat a bit and it doesn't feel strange, it doesn't feel that we are reconnecting decades later. It almost feels like I've been transported back in time...weird, but fantastic all the same.Friends like Maggie, Wendy, Ian, Mark, Barrie, Bryan......oh what great kids we were - then we were scattered like seeds apon the wind all over to different grammar schools, this is when we all lost touch, so it's fantastic talking as adults and laughing at the stuff we got upto as kids....I thank you all for coming back into my life and making me laugh!!...this side of social networking I love very much.
It's really strange, but now I'm back in touch, I've realised how much I have missed these people being in my life.....I am very grateful for this chance to catch up with everyone, and who knows meet in the flesh again, let's be honest the fashions can't be as bad as our class photo from 1979!! A reunion as Coleen suggested would be great fun.
So all of us can have changes come apon us quickly....most are very positive and lift our spirits and hearts. Those that are more negative need dealing with quickly and then discarding, move onto better things that keep us uplifted.
For those who cannot make the Curry n cocktail charity event on May 19th.... I will have a drink or three on your behalf....lets hope it doesn't end up with me as drunk as a skunk!!
Until next time
Tracy
