may 14th - breakfast for dinner and other such comforts




Y y




There are days that poke and prod you in all the wrong places (and I mean wrong as in uncomfortable, not dirty, you filthy doggs).
 There are days that challenge you to a dual, which you are obliged to accept, and are forced to fight even though you’re not quite sure what it is the dual is for. Maybe you forgot to put the milk back in the fridge? I don’t know. 
Add a bit of homesickness to this and you’ve got yourself a recipe for bad attitude.
When days like these pop on over for an un-welcome visit, it’s easy to fall into the slump of the grumps and be the biggest sooky bum that ever did live.
Which is unfortunately the trap that I fell into.
BUT lucky for me, I had a few tricks, and some kind, wise words, to get my head back on track.
1.     Being productive and creative can banish your woes and cleanse your soul

2.     A good cup of tea never goes astray

3.     When you think you’re lagging behind, take a deep breath, shake the cobwebs out of your head and concentrate on what you DO know 

4.     Sometimes a good/annoying/gross phrase is exactly what you need to cheer you up, so whip out the old love ya guts, warm my bones and relish in them

5.     Read Desiderata. And then read it again.
6.     When someone tells you to keep your gin up (ha) listen and actually put your chip up

7.     Perspective is a necessity in this life, never forget this

And last but not least

8.     Just smile. Life is beautiful.
Thanks for putting up with my grizzly tude sweet, sweet kids. I promise to make up for it with sex muffins and plenty of dorky dance moves.
PEACE LOVE & ALL THINGS DELIGHTFUL
Ps. To clarify, sex muffins consist of white chocolate and raspberries, not sex in a pastry…in case you were wondering.
