  • Good morning all,

    Thank you for all your comments and thoughts.

    I'm definitely feeling much better this week than I was last week.

    Muhren, we are the same age and when you look around at what others have 'achieved' of the same age it does become hard not to compare yourself to them. Especially when you think they are comparing themselves to you…However, like numerous people have said everyone has different goals and plans as to what they want to achieve. Mine vary on a weekly basis!

    Teaching English as a Foreign Language is something that I should do. I have toyed with it for years and then I look at the cost, think I'll just wait till I have enough money, then life gets in the way and another year has gone…this year, however, I'm going to do it. I am, I am, I am…

    Cruise ship is most definitely not for me, although has been suggested in the past and I did look into it. The biggest reason for not appealing to me is the fact I'm not a fan of being on top of the water.

    So things are good at the moment, I have an achievable target of being debt free by the summer (thanks to a phone call to the tax man and a bonus through work which happens every year in March) plus some serious penny pinching (netflix and spotify are gone for now…) so onwards and upwards.

    We all need to remember that everyone has 'stuff' going on in their heads, regardless of the face they show. Humans are terrible for comparing themselves to each other yet it's only human to do so!

    Now, I really should get out of bed. Deciding whether to go out with the camera to take some snow photos or head to the kitchen to bake…or just stay in bed a few minutes longer with Sunday Brunch…

    Best wishes to all :)
