Love You


 It’s twenty to six! 
Jesus! 
I slept till 3 pm 
Grabbed a coffee and had 90 minutes on line supervision for all of my clients.
Tomorrow I’m counselling all day
I feel better than I did
Apparently I’m doing ok with my clients! 
Validation that I needed
On Friday I’m off to Wrexham to see Nish Kumar a well known British stand up 
Saturday is the annual Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir concert at the village Hall
Sunday lunch out with a friend. 
A nice balance now.
Suddenly it’s felt that it’s all or nothing 

I’ve been aware that I’ve been somewhat introspective of late, and I think that is true 
A trip to Sheffield has been put on hold because my theatrical friend John swan dived on a wet pavement ! ( ouch) a planned trip to Italy was put on hold by catheter issues

I booked to see Operation Mincemeat in London in December which made me smile, London at Christmas can be magical

But what I really needed today, was that virtual hug, that silly message, that comes out of the blue 
Saw this and thought of you……love  you x

    Do you work from home or in a group environment? I do love working from home on occasion but I think that it can take you to a great deal of introspection and if your mind is taking a down route it can be very hard to pull the controls without the sounds of another human around.
    I do like the sounds of your "coming ups" - and well done on the validation!

    Good news. A little balance is what's need, you know, all work and no play ...

    That sounds better! Busy and bright, and all good things to do, despite changes to plans. Love the choir poster, very professional. And plans to go see Operation Mincemeat - the perfect Christmas treat. (I'm off to Stratford on Friday to see the first all male RSC As You Like It; a terrific cast)

      There was a very famous 1967 Old Vic all male Ads You Like It with an incredible cast - Ronald Pickup as Rosalind, Jeremy Brett as Orlando, Derek Jacobi as Touchstone, Charles Kay as Celia, and Anthony Hopkins as Audrey. That would have been an extraordinary thing to see,

    Remember to stuff a few pounds of those long night paychecks into the Bluebelle Two penny jar. But all sounds fun, best you skipped Italy, it had a terribly hot summer, I believe. Lots of diverse things on your calendar, we'll have fun hearing all the details. xx

    Am glad you're feeling more upbeat after a good sleep and that you've made wonderful plans for the days, weeks, and months ahead. Christmas in London? You lucky duck!
    Enjoy your clients and all they add to your life as you add kind perspective to their lives.

    Hugs!

    Hopefully all the good outweighs the not so good. You've got lots of plans and they all seem very enjoyable.
    I'm also glad to hear all is going well with your clients. Seeing them improve and/or thrive has to be a great feeling.

    If they have 'requests', ask the choir to sing 'Bring him Home'. They do it so well.

    I absolutely love hearing a Welsh male voice choir.

    Must be very hard managing a catheter on an everyday basis. The Italy trip would have been a challenge. Very glad you have some outings planned which you can look forward to and will bring that all important balance to life.

    Was that a photo of you 30 years ago?🙃

    I sometimes think that you need a period of 'nothings' to make the 'alls' seem even more special. Well I do anyway. :-)
