It’s been far too long since my first post. How did this happen? Well, I sort of panicked, thinking ‘oh no, now the blog is live, I’m going to have to do something!’ and then of course froze and did nothing. Hence a little cooling down period. Or should I say thawing period, allowing myself to return to a temperature in which I can function. I do have an excuse of being unwell over the last few days so I couldn’t have gone out last weekend anyway, but that’s just really lame. I shouldn’t even have mentioned it.
I’m happy to report though that immediately after posting my first blog post, I seemed to develop an ‘excitement awareness’ and started coming up with ideas of what to do and even started a list. An idea of a holiday I’ve been wanting to go on for a few years now sprang to mind and I started looking into it. In fact, booking it was going be my task for the first week. What happened? My recurring health problems held me back. But then another thought came to mind. What if I use my health problems as an excuse for not being active and doing things? I’ve had to admit to myself that this is entirely possible. In the grand scheme of things they’re quite minor problems but can put a spanner in the works. Hmmm. Am I going to book that holiday? Soon.
I’ve also been thinking about how you can add excitement to your everyday life just by looking at and doing things a little bit differently, putting your fun-tinted glasses on instead of the dull grey ones and just being open to opportunities. A case in point – the other night I was planning to go to the library after work. One of my local libraries is near a big stadium and during the day I learned that there was going to be a football game on that night. I wondered if I should postpone to another night when it wouldn’t be so busy in the area but decided to go ahead. I’m so glad I did because the stadium was lit up in all its glory and there was a nice atmosphere of an event and lots but not too many people about. From now on, I’ll always go to the library on a game night!
And just this evening I got this brilliant idea for a little project. It’s the time of year when Christmas trees are starting to spring up all over the place. I love them, they lift my spirits like nothing else and are probably my favourite thing about Christmas. And London is a very good place to see them so I’ve decided to start taking photos of them, just for my own pleasure, and post them on Facebook and here on my blog. ‘Tis the season to be jolly so I’m going to embrace the festive spirit, none of that usual moaning about stress and crowds etc, and go out there and make the most of it. I’m going to start this weekend. I’ll be back with some photos soon.
