Just Me!! The Butterfly effect

Did you know that if you smile at a stranger, for no other reason than you can, you could change that persons whole day, and in doing so change yours? And did you know that if everyone in the world did this then the reverberations that it would send out could very well end up in world peace?

So smile, because things are never as bad as they at first seem, there are always rainbows in the sky and the sun always shines after rain.

It would seem that for the moment things are staring to pull together, very slowly, and I wont go into the very confusing conversation that I had with the people at the job center, suffice it to say that had I been starving I would have been dead before they decide that I am entitled to any money, I have to wait another two weeks before they will allow me the meagre allowance that is to be mine, I will probably have a job and be earning before they send me anything Anyway, I ended up just nodding and walking away after signing all the many papers that they needed signing, I think I may have well sold me soul here, and for a pittance too!

But, that is all by the by, it is the weekend, and we shall forget all the many unpleasentnesses that have accompanied the week. I plan to relax and hopefully do nothing, what are your plans?

After five days of almost non stop torrential rain, the sun is shining this morning

I got caught in the rain twice yesterday, the job centre trip, only this time I have taken the plunge and put in a claim, I am tired of having absolutely nothing and having to ask for anything I want from people that are already struggling.

Though it felt like I have finally admitted that there is not going to be a job anytime soon, I soon shook that off and decided that chances were now that I have done that I will get a job before I get my first payment, because that is normally how things work, isnt it? And if not, well one will be along soon

Half way through another week, almost at the end of May, is it me or is this year simply flying past?

I have been doing a lot of reading lately, I have re-read 'From the corner of his Eye' by Dean Koontz, fascinating book, and a couple of others that were not so fascinating and of course I am still doing my studies, this year I am on Biological Psychology, whch is tough going but is very interesting.

I think that is it for now, hope everyone is having a good week, and have a great day today.

It is pouring with rain and has been since 4am, which is affecting my mood and I am quite bluesy today Well it isn't just that affecting it but it is something to blame.

But it is friday and the weekend is almost upon us

I have put on some music to try and alleviate the blues, music often can lift me out of a blue mood into a smiley, happy go lucky mood, it is a great uplifter, providing of course that you choose the right type. Putting on something melancholy or sad can make it worse, so looks like it is rock and dance that is going to fill the speakers for a while.

And what plans have we all got for the weekend?

The clouds have covered my beautiful sunrise this morning and it is raining, never mind I still got to see the pink lacing around the edges of the grey

I seem to be having a major problem with my typing this morning my T's all turn into Y's and I have to start all over again, the penalties you pay for not watching the keys and letting your fingers do the walking

So I will keep this short and sweet, hope everyone has a great day, and I will pop back later when my fingers decide to behave

I watched the dawn tiptoe in on golden slippers, streaking the sky with her pink ribbons and kissing the clouds and making them blush, now the sun shines golden through my window way up here at the top of the house and the blue sky is clear, what bit of it I can see that is through my skylight.

I have been on a journey of self doubt these past weeks that has had me hitting a low I thought I was finished with, it is hard having two opposing factions in oneself, the eternal optimist that sees the silver lining in every black cloud and the depressive that sees black clouds on the horizon of every clear day. As always with a little help from friends the eternal optimist has won and though that job is still proving to be elusive, it is wating somewhere round the corner.

So another beautiful day has begun, a momentous day, as each day is supposed to be, and who knows what bright things it will bring?

The most importanmt thing of course is how are you all doing?

Gooooooooood Morning Blogland.

Well things are no different here at casa de LJ, but I have access to the net without going to the library, limited but access is access, so I can go hopping and reading all the entries that I have missed while I have been MIA

Going to the library turned out to be a bit of a wash out, with 10 computers for under 16's one of which was in use, half of the adult computers out of order and the other half booked solid. We really need an internet cafe here, if I had the wherwithall to start one I would!

Anyway, just to let you know that I am around and about again, for at least a little while a day
