support

I have lots of support to take advantage of,
husband has been so sweet & considerate.  & today he bought me a keyboard to play with - I used to love playing the old one.  Now I just need to brave the loft to find some of the music books...

There's no pressure, I don't need to do anything.  So I choose what to do.  Tomorrow is a me day, I shall indulge my hobbies.  I made it to wing chun seminar today, & enjoyed it, & knew my limits.

I have so many fun things around me, & so many people.  I had a good night out with a friend last night, & husband joined us for wine.  I even avoided much of a hangover.  & Thursday (when I was looking forward to a drink so I thought it was Friday) I got an invite to the pub, & a walk & talk with a friend.

I have friends that understand how conversation work, that are interested in what I'm saying.  How are you cos they want to know rather than because that's the lead in to them telling.I have a few of the elf help books now, I think they're great.  Husband has got me great gifts over the years, so I have all manner of pens & pencils (& crayons even) to be colouring with.

& now I have choose your own adventure books, & I'm looking forward to playing them :-)

Tutorial

I have remembered how to cook & have fed myself :-)
Walked to shop, thankful the shop is nearby, to get supplies.
Remembered to prepare for tomorrow.
Enjoying the wireless broadband so I can download all the ebooks I need onto the tablet.
Love the tablet - means I don't have to carry books around, still have access to what I need.
Am thankful that trains have charging sockets so I can charge the tablet if I use it all day.
I've made some progress with the TMA too, & am feeling more positive about the exam - I can do this!

the Magic

I am thankful I found "the secret", & from there I have found "the magic".  The "magic" is gratitude & I am thankful for it ;-)
Here begins my gratitude for everything! 

I am thankful that I can read, that I have access to books, that I can order things off the internet easily, that the delivery office is just down the road & I can collect my parcels at the weekend.

I am thankful for the mentoring opportunities, & that we have fun out.  That the weather's always been appropriate.  That I can drive, & have a nice car & get safely & comfortably around.

That I get excited about things, I have the magic to loo forward to, starting tomorrow with day 1, though I'm desperate to read it now!  But I am thankful for the opportunity to study, to learn, that I have time for these things.  that I have the house nice cos I tidied up, & I like it that way so I'm thankful I have the motivation to keep it nice.

I am thankful for the reminder to phrase things in the positive too.  That a blog means I can go back & revisit previous thoughts, that the labels (tags) make it easy to do so.

books

I love books,
I love that I can read, & that I enjoy reading.

I'm thankful that I was brought up around books & encouraged to read, & to look things up.
That we have libraries, full of books.  These days if I get out library books I really like, I tend to buy them.  I am thankful that I have the resources to do that.  & that I can keep renewing books indefinitely while I get round to reading them.  That libraries have progressed from the world of shhhushhhh to be more active, lively,  the dvd & cd collections, (actually we have Netflix for most of that but still), the study areas, the ones that have pc access, power points for laptops & tablets.  Wikipedia of course, & almost instant access to knowledge.

The world of information is an exciting place & I'm glad to be part of it.
