What a week!
It is the end of a busy busy week. Was in York, photos to follow shortly and how many things were crappish last week, they are good, really good, this week. Yet another bead on the necklace of life... everything, but everything changes.
I won't pretend that things were difficult - and most of the time it never makes any sense, but i think that for me it is important to remember what a tremendous magical world there is out there and to hold on to that. And York reminded me of that.
It was really interesting as well, i was in the airport and realised that i was getting fed up with people for no reason at all. And then i caught myself on and went, ah ha i'm picking things off people. I will not do this now. And so began smiling at the staff and all those other sour faced individuals. And you know what, people smiled back. They actually became much happier. It was an experiment that for me, worked.
On our fridge is a quote from Thich Nat Hanh that goes "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy "... and this week i realised what that meant.
It was also really really good meeting the old media types. We all understand each other media PR people. The qoes with have with people who don't understand us or see us as glorified press release machines. Plus the weather was stunning. Oh it was glorious. And while in York i managed to catch an exhibition at the York Art Gallery, buy knitting things in Duttons for Buttons' medieval room, have banoffee hot chocolate in the second oldest house in York that was also haunted and gawp at York Minster. I love York.
But a biiiiig thank you to all my friends who have hung in there for and with me. I would be so much poorer without you. Thank you to Ma and Pa who have also been so helpful through the week, and to life... life. Who knows where it will take us next? Another chapter is always unfolding.
