Well, I feel better today than I did yesterday and I felt better yesterday that I did the day before so that must be a good thing.

The sun was even shining when I woke up this morning and I got out of bed with unknown vigour but obviously that's been superseded with my body mimicking a lead balloon, again. Yesterday I took Noodle for a walk and was so glad that she been staying at her daddy's for a few weeks because she was fascinated in every little thing on the pavement which meant very, slow, walking. She was sniffing (and trying to eat) every leaf and stick and bit of rubbish and chewing gum on the path which meant that our walk to the Old Graveyard took over 15 minutes when it usually takes less than five. After moving at snails' pace around the graveyard I did pick up my pace a bit on the way home which just proves that what everyone tells me is true, that if you go out and do stuff you do feel better.

So I'm trying to 'get a grip' as the saying goes and have even written a list of jobs (little ones, obviously) for me to do today.

Tinypoppet (If I call you different things, people might get confused and think I've got more friends ;)) says in her wonderfully wise way that I could start the course and if don't like it, I could stop it, but if I don't start it, I'll never know if I would have liked it or not.

Umm, such clarity and sensibleness. Obviously couldn't have been written by me.

Danny Wallace the originator of 'Join Me' and Random Acts of Kindness has written another book called 'Yes Man' where he said 'yes' to everything for a year and totally changed his life. I haven't read it yet but if I follow his example (and I think it's a good example to follow), I guess it means I'll be doing my course.
