Your Life Can Be Good

Introduction

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been feeling down, exacerbated by my slight ADHD/Bipolar/Autistic traits that are part of my make-up. I have not seen anyone about these because generally I can deal with them though at times there is a mental fight to assert my good side over my down side.

So What Have I Done?

Sometimes things can't be changed, but just talking with friends, either on the phone or face to face is a booster. Today somebody reminded me of my time in prison, so I thought there's a story, but I wrote it two years ago, so you can check it out here.

Time with friends is hugely beneficial as is walking.

I did not think I could write today, but I managed to start this piece, and talked with a few friends and then the ideas came.

Last week I went to a jumble sale and bought a lovely rabbit for my granddaughter Alexis Leia from my friend Jess who then pointed me to another room where I saw this amazing album.

I may have paid slightly over the odds but it is one of the most beautiful album designs I have ever seen. It is "Happy To Meet, Sorry To Part" by Horslips and hopefully you can see the video of it if you nip through to the Instagram post above.

The place was difficult to find as Gosforth Civic Theatre backs on to the main street, but this is the back wall.

This was the event

When you are not 100% in your mind little things can really hit you , and a very small leak reappeared in the kitchen. It was just a drip every so often but little drips can get bigger and water can be very insidious. I was fairly sure this was coming in through a hole in the bricks or mortar so I got the ladders out and sealed up every point that looked like it could facilitate watery ingress.

Rain had not been heavy but constant, and the leak kept on and I was worried I had a leak under the bathroom floor.The leak seemed to be getting better and despite foggy rain this morning it had stopped, so I have sorted that and it makes me feel better.

On one of my Preston visits I met the wonderful VVzyk and offered to buy her a coffee but she preferred hot chocolate. I asked if I could interview her on Vocal and she said yes, but has been busy recently. Yesterday she sent me the first part of the interview so I will be sharing that soon. Her website is here and her art and music are amazing. Looking at the website URL I think her real name is Viviane Barzyk but either name is very exotic.

She is on Facebook here:

Another friend told me she had receeived some amazing stuff in the post, and when my friends are happy then I am happy, and that really made my day.

Also on my walks, and I don't know what it is, when I meet up with cats it raises my spirits. I don't always see cats but when I do I share them on my Instagram Channel with the hashtag #CatsInNam and #CatsOf Vocal

I wrote this on the benefits of meeting up Cats

We also now have our own semi-resident cat which Fiona finds very amusing when he comes demanding treats.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it and got some ideas to help you in your day to day life.
