Just been on Skype chatting to my friend D who lives in Cornwall - an old friend someone I miss quite a lot. Mental note - something there about male friends!! Anyway he was talking about how a recent Vision Quest he attended brought up a number of issues for him - made him see quite clearly that his MO is not to look very positively at things so that he will never be too disappointed. Made me start to think about how I have been in a bit of a hole recently - preferring to see the doom and gloom rather than the opportunities around me. Makes me more determined to get off my butt and start ... doing things again. Be the person who really does say YES! I have started a "backpack" list of attitudes and values and so on - things that are necessary or preferable to take on life's journey. Positive attitude, belief in one's self, friends, good music ... there will be more.
I have also decided to start this journal - to try and write something every day. Content to include -
- Why do I get up in the morning?
- Achievements for the day - and reasons why (or why not!)
- Reflections on the day
So what about today then ... a 2 hour ride, exploring a little more of the city. Arranged an interview with a casting agency for extras work, moved the shelf project forward a peg or two, arranged to meet Vicky from The Coaching Institute and reconnected with D. All n all a good day!
Today's quote: Carpe diem - seize the day!
