I still seem to be grumpy today, partly due to cabin fever with a house full of fluey children and partly due to sleep deprivation, as well as the January slump. I have lost my mojo and extreme inertia has set in. But, slowly throughout the day my energy levels have increased, I have dispensed calpol and cuddles and improved the state of the house along with Mr Green. Despite being a bit scared of the dark I took the dog out so Mr Green didn't have to. I started thinking about my January strategy and life in general. I am saddened every day by the bad things that happen in the world. I am always counting my blessings and appreciate my lot in life. I would like to do more to help others, but don't always know what I can do. But I always try to be kind and compassionate. Although it is a small thing, I always try to smile at people and be polite and courteous. I teach my children these values too. I am far from perfect but feel so much better about the world when I know I have done my best. When I have smiled at people in the street, offered my assistance to those who may need it, thanked the shop assistant, sent a friend a good luck message. Maybe if everyone smiled more and were a little less selfish there would be fewer bad things happening. Smile, give, hug, help, forgive, live. Make the most of the life you get and take opportunities. Get off your bum and do something useful ;-).
