Day 5 - Something I hope to do in my life

I hope to someday take a long flight and sit in first class! I think it would just be too luxurious for words. All that room, all the leg space, being able to put the tray table down properly! Would just be delightful! And do you know what? It's short, it's sweet, it's expensive but that what I hope to do!

Day 4 - Something you have to forgive someone for

I have to forgive a very good friend for her not wanting me in her life anymore. We didn't argue or fight, we just grew apart. And that's ok. And I need to forgive her for moving on without me. I am happy for her and wish her the very best, I just don't fit anymore. It's not her fault or even mine for that matter, but I do need to say it's ok and I am ok with it.

Day 3 - Something you have to forgive yourself for

Ohhhh, tough one. I have to stop trying to be everything to everyone and I have to forgive myself when I don't live up to their expectations of what I should be.  As much as I tell myself, I really do need to believe that I shouldn't care what others think and just do what makes me happy.  While I am doing what makes me happy and I do only do that - I still worry so much about others' happiness too.  It is not up to me to ensure their happiness with their life!

(I also need to forgive myself for already being a day late with this entry. I went to a friend's wedding yesterday and was too tired and stressed after having to deliver the cake for the reception to write on here!)

Day 2 - Something I love about myself

This kind of goes along the same theme as yesterday. I love my loyalty. My loyalty to my family, my friends, my beliefs and to myself.

I also love that I am willing and wanting to try new things. This blog is a fine example of that! Who knows how long it will last but I will be giving it a red hot go!

Day 1 - Something I hate about myself

Well, that's really a hard one. While I am sure many would think it was my weight but in a way it's not. Yes..I am overweight.  Yes...I do consume too much of the wrong food at the wrong times.  Yes...I do not do near enough exercise but this is not what I hate about myself. Hate is such a strong emotion that I actually struggle to find that one thing that I hate about myself.

I dislike my weight, my hair, my amazing ability for procrastination. I don't like the way that I am completely ok with a sink full of dirty dishes or a bookshelf lined with dust. 

Hang on - I got it! I hate that I often have high expectations for my treatment of others and for their treatment of me and I hate that I get bitterly disappointed when my concepts of their treatment of me are dashed. I would like to think that I treat others well and with respect and would do anything for my friends but when this is not reciprocated I struggle to understand why others do not see the world as I do.

So, yes I guess there is something I hate about myself after all but really if that is the only thing that I can think of on this beautiful Spring day and it is something that I can change - then life is pretty bloody good hey?

Hello!

I don't actually know if anyone will follow me or actually be interested in the interesting and somewhat amusing world that is my life! (But I do hope so!)

I have no real idea what I am doing but I am confident that I will pick it up as I go along. That's how I have lived my life thus far after all.
