A friend told me about a book called "The Happiness Project" where you create a list for yourself once a month or so, nothing unmanageable but things you want to achieve - like not to get so frustrated the moment you get in the car maybe and in the process perhaps make yourself a little bit more happy with the ticking off of that list. Now truthfully I haven't read the book and am only going on what my friend has told me but it sounds like a good idea. So I am now starting my own happiness project and the first thing on my list is to write a blog.
I am very nervous about doing this and putting myself out there, as it were but I don't expect it to be read by anyone really. I am well aware that there is already so much being written by talented people who can make you laugh or cry on a whim and I am not one. But I do feel that I would like to put fingers to keyboard and see my thoughts as the written word. So here I go.........
I consider myself to be a very lucky person, I have a beautiful family and friends who love me and a 10 year old Zafira that just keeps trucking. But, I have to say sometimes I want more. Sometimes I want to be successful in a career but I haven't managed that, perhaps I'm too fickle. At the moment I'm really into food and cooking. I like it and I'm good at it. I want to host a supper club but I worry about the cats hairs and the food. Also the fam aren't too happy about people they don't know wandering through their house. I am in the process of teaching the boy to cook, well hardly a boy these days, more a young man at 18. His gap year beckons, with it independence and the cutting of the apron strings! When I say teaching him to cook, its more him welding a sharp knife towards his fingers (he's left handed, so I get even more uneasy because it all looks so awkward) and me cleaning up the mess created.
I'm enjoying this it feels quite cathartic, more later.......
