Well I didn't post yesterday I got a bit tied up with other more pressing matters. Sadly my friend Kelzs daughter was involved in a serious road accident and is poorly in hospital, my love and hugs and everything else I have goes out to Kelz and her daughter. Hope she improves soon and is soon home where she belongs. Love to you all xxxxx
This leads me on to other thoughts I had last night, what does anything matter in life, we should all try to do what we want to do cos we only have one life to lead. I know money sometimes gives us restraints (well gives us a lot of restraints) but all in all I think sometimes our lives have to be restructured slightly. The same goes to weight and also as to what clothes we wear. What does it matter how heavy or thin we are, as long as we are happy with the way we look. Obviously some things spell out health issues which we must take into account but all in all if we are happy with out lives then let it be. We don't need to conform to the air brushed images, or wear the up to date clothes, unless this is of course what we want! We don't need all the material things in life either. I moved to Spain several years ago with just three huge suitcases and I honestly had everything I needed as regards to personal things except I did miss all my books. My flat was fully furnished, although sparse, and I only had to buy some extra bed linen, a microwave and some plants which I love. I loved it there more than I do here and yet I had virtually nothing. I did miss my family as just my partner and I went alone and I also I would have liked a dog there. I had three cats in the UK which I left with my mother and when I returned she did not want me to have them back so hence why I bought the 'dog' hehe. I could walk to the shops, plentiful with fresh fruit and veg, not all in conforming to EU rules on size. I shopped in the markets, drunk coffee at the street cafes, walked to beach and the mountains and had a few alcoholic beverages at the local bar! Food was something to be enjoyed and hours were spent just eating, chatting and drinking (and no not getting drunk), I even learnt Spanish and didn't have a car. Transport was brilliant and the train took you to the major nearby city in just 20 mins and also a quick trip to Gibraltar was easy so I could stock up on just the few things of English stuff that I liked at Safeway there. I cant really believe I came back, but things were meant for a reason I truly believe that and not long after I returned I was diagnosed with the heart condition I have. So all in all today's motto is just do what you believe to be right for you and try to follow your dreams wherever possible cos you just don't know what is around the corner!
