A New Year, a new blog and a new outlook, (well two out of three can’t be bad)

Hope you all had a good Christmas.  I am back after my health blip, it’s amazing how a health problem can clear your head and make you realise what’s important.  But I followed the doctors advice, did as I was told ( handed my notice in at work), and now face the New Year with a slightly changed life style and feeling much better than I did back in October.  All sorts of thoughts went through my mind at the time, some rational and others totally irrational.  I found myself thinking a lot along the lines of ‘My mom was dead at 63, what the bloody hell am I doing?’ I spent sometime feeling as though I wasn’t me, I was just someone on the sidelines watching what was going on, a very strange feeling. Then all the old sayings, like ‘on your death bed you regret what you didn’t do not what you did’ God what a depressing thought! ‘Everything happens for a reason’, (I believe that one),’ for every door that closes another opens’, I could go on, but I won’t.
So my run up to Christmas was nice and relaxed this year, we went to see a few plays, and to a couple of Christmas markets and went for some nice walks. I spent my days watching daytime telly and really bad films, you know there’s some good stuff on in the day! I read a lot, all this and did the housework, without rushing anything, bliss.

Last year I had my Numerological report done, I had it done in the November and my number for the month was a 9, which said I should clean up loose ends, let go of the past and prepare for the future, which given what I was going through was apt.

My life path number is a 7, which means my life path is to find universal truths and pursue inner-knowledge.  As my knowledge grows people will seek me out in hopes that I will share my wisdom, (Just what I need)!

My life destiny number is a 1 which means I must be independent and lead others often where no one has ever ventured before, (is this a good thing)? I will develop a strong sense of self and force of will, and my courage will give me the confidence to take action. I am truly meant to be a leader, (sounds like a lot of hard work to me). But this I must accomplish to lead a fulfilled life.

My sole number is 4 which means I want to address life with a well thought out plan, I need to have things organized and clear set boundaries, I have no desire to be surprised by anything. And that is so true!

My personality number is a 6 which makes me nurturing, and faithful to loved ones.
My maturity number 8, Again this one is about leadership powers, as I get older I will be called upon to lead others. (I am going to become an activist)

There was lots of other stuff as well all of it saying that I am going on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual development, that I would gain wisdom, and that other people would seek me out for answers and that I would become a  leader.  Ooh Err.

At the end of November I decided to look into past lives and found a site where you put in your birth name and the time and date of your birth and it gives you a report of who/what you were and how it affects your present life. Yes I know, and I thought so too, but it did make me wonder. My report came back that in my past lives I was a healer, a wise man/woman even a witch. It went on to say that because of this I properly feel happiest when close to nature, prefer animals to people and have a deep wisdom which I need to nurture, (ring any bells). Funny thing is I do feel more at home when we are out in the middle of nowhere, and I do prefer animals to most people.

Things I found interesting, annoying, funny, or just plain silly  towards the end of last year.

We had snow in November, that’s the first time in 4 years it as fell in November.

Someone invented a Nylon teabag, how are you supposed to recycle that?

The government losing 25 million peoples banking details.

Fishermen having to throw dead cod back into the sea because they had caught too many, what a waste.

I lost my phone last year, (on one of my trips to hospital), so had to get a new one. Why do they have to have the music on so loud in these shops? I had to keep saying pardon every time the assistant asked me anything.

I really don’t understand football. Why do they get rid of the team manager when they lose a big match? It’s the players that kick the ball around; I don’t throw out my cooker if my cake sinks

The queen’s anniversary, didn’t she look happy.

Towards the end of last year I saw a program in which a psychologist was talking to over weight people who were trying to lose weight. One person complained that they did not have the will power to stop eating. The reply from the phychologist, ‘rubbish, you had the will power to eat yourself to the size you are.’ Now I would just like to point out that I have no trouble at all eating chocolate, I find it takes no willpower at all to unwrap and devour the lot. However it’s not so easy for me to say no. Is it just me?

Then there was this, with which I whole heartly agree get fat be happy. and this I could kiss this man James Watson.

All the fuss over the film Golden compass, it’s make-believe

The government deciding that thick cut bread is too thick and making us fat!

The teacher being jailed for letting children name a teddy bear.

Upside down chirstmas  trees!

The amount of cold callers both at the door and on the phone!

The fuss over the council tax not being fair, no tax is going to be fair to everyone. When we had poll tax my bill was more a month than I earned. I did not get a rebate because my husband worked, and he was expected to make up the difference.

The government wanting single parents to go out to work, now anyone out there who read my old blog will know my feelings on this one. Children need a parent at home, children get sick, then there are all the school holidays, we don’t haven enough parents at home as it is, and this is part of the reason we are having so much trouble with our children. How can a child understand the meaning of a family life if they are brought up in nursery or by child minders?

Be Happy
