Day 59: Turn the page

I'm in a cafe because - disaster - my home internet is down, but I thought I'd quickly share some discoveries:

1. Mornings can be beautiful. I'll not go as far as to say that I'm a 'morning person' or to start eating breakfast but lately I have been at my calmest and happiest at the beginning of the day. The terror on waking - scanning my memory (/outbox) for the bad thing I did drunk the night before - is beginning to fade, and I have energy and optimism to face the day. Similarly, I've discovered it is possible for weekends to leave one rested rather than destroyed.

2. Steady progress can build to create a deeper satisfaction than dramatic rushes. Like many addicts, I have been used to instant gratification and I've also relied on bursts of hard work to get through. This is not the only way. Relationships are built on calm communication rather than drunk declarations.

3. I'm practically the Dalai Lama innit ^^^

4. I keep getting deja vu. Any theories on why?



INFINITE JEST: Pages 624-633, read in the Asda cafe with a view of the Asda carpark. remind me not to go in here again.

  1. Someone was talking about your Fantods author again today. On Radio 4 - saying how it's good to read tomes and massive epic books.

    Deja vus...hmm, perhaps my theory would be that your synapses are all rebuilding and getting used to clarity...so it could be them testing joyfully :D

    Weekends can be very healing and restoring. I never feel guilty sleeping in or indulging on the weekend. I am glad you're loving them too!

    So proud of my steadfast girl! xxx
