To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.

Hi cherisong

Another listmaker here

just wanted to say thank you for the post you put on the Matrix earlier in the week re. Changing One's Life in 3 easy steps - it was a cracker and has whizzed round my friends and family! Several of us are taking it as our 'words to live by' for forseeable!

Hope all is going well and congrats to Mr C :T

MrsMoo2U

oh little h, THANK YOU!:grouphug:

Now I just need to remember which post that was. Off to check it out.

See I dont follow my own advice - rubbish thats what I am :rotfl:

Haha! was it this?

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~Anatole France
To change one's life:
1. Start immediately.
2. Do it flamboyantly.
3. No exceptions.

I really must get back into putting quotes on here. They are my cornerstone to motivation.

Up early ME. Glad you are all liking the quotes. I have been lax of late with them.

Bear with me, this is going to be a bit of a brain dump post I think.

Well, today has been very productive and I am rather pleased with how work has gone.

This weekend sees Mr and Mrs OH coming along to stay with MR C Junior :eek: Dread to think how much the food is going to cost and that is the worry that I am focusing on because all of the rest of it is just too much to cope with. None of them are my most favourite people mostly because I think that they all drain Mr C in many ways and it hurts me to see him being ground down and still too lovely to put a stop to it.

Where other things are concerned I spent the long day in the car to a from Cardiff yesterday having a long, long think. I have been getting myself all worked up about things that are just not important thus taking my eye of the bigger picture. I think that this has been (subconsciouly) purposeful in order to not deal with some things if that makes sense. The Austria thing is a really big deal and very important to me so why, I asked myself, have I been stressing about not keeping up with people's diaries on here, not keeping up with reading certain self help books and not being able to find the time to write my blogs. That led to a very fitful nights sleep (one of many) in which I kept having really odd dreams. So starting last night I have started to write my dreams down to try and figure them out.

Today I have made a few decisions about some of the things that I do. I have listed them and there are things on there that I will eliminate. I am still struggling to decide what to do about my own diary. It has not been as money saving focused as I intended it to be and so I am being a fraud. I have been a little to scared to post my money thoughts on here which is kind of stupid given that is exactly what this is meant to be. This is completely in keeping with my nature as I have never been one to discuss money with anybody, I find it very private (go figure). I have never really had personal debt in my life. I have always been the one to bail others out. I have debt on credit cards simply due to the fact that the flat was undervalued. I need to stop using that as an excuse/reason because whilst I am making excuses I am not focusing I need to clear that credit card debt faster and so I need to focus on it. Meanwhile I have the thing going on with the Austria property. That will, initially, incur some debt but I dont expect that to last as I think I have it all covered. That is assuming that the whole thing still goes to plan. I am not counting my chickens until those contracts are exchanged.

Right ,brain well and truly dumped. Decluttering the house seems to be having the effect of decluttering my brain. Great stuff. I will make a decision about diary keeping in the next couple of days.

And here are two quotes of the day that have seen me through today
You simply cannot be beaten if, at the end of the day, some tiny part of you can still whisper "I will try again tomorrow"

Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
John Ruskin

Dump away!

You have so much going on and bah to junior coming too as I know he is hard work. Can't believe he is welcome after the disaster holiday.

My old diary got way off track but I started a new one that is for debt busting only. I'm keeping all the personal stuff off it. Once you get everything sorted, contract signed, flat let etc you will then be able to refocus on paying down the debt.

Love todays quotes. You have to keep your diary just for the quotes

MrsMoo2U

I didnt realise that you had a new diary, will have a look over the fence later. Yep loads going on and I will refocus as soon as all my ducks are lined up.
Hmm junior seems to get away with blue murder and still is seen as a kid who doesn't know better. To say that Mr C overcompensates is an understatement. I wouldnt mind if him not being in his life had been his decision but he still feels guilty and thinks it is all his fault that Jnr acts the way he does. I say he is a man and is more than capable of knowing what is and isnt acceptable. Still I have to keep quiet or I am the bad guy.

Glad you like the quotes, this one You simply cannot be beaten if, at the end of the day, some tiny part of you can still whisper "I will try again tomorrow" is the strapline to a picture of a dane completely flopped out on the floor. I have it hung on my kitchen wall and it always makes me smile. I first put it up when my exOH walked out and I didnt know what to do. My friend brought that round to cheer me up and it is a real motivator when I am heading to bed feeling fed up and weary.
