Getting especially addicted to the AI option on my phone! But certainly gets my All Bran bright and Christmas sparkly!

So, yesterday, the dark day of November 10th, I shouldn't be maudlin.. Apologies.. time heals they say? But I'd like to meet these people, see how their life experiences have differed from mine..

'I know how you feel; yes I can imagine; this is my advice; this is how I would manage your problem' 

Yeah, walk in the shoes of people who have had to overcome parts of their lives that have broken them .. and I don't just mean me, of course not .. People have, and are, suffering way more than me, and you.  We have no real idea... If you're reading this you're a very lucky person in so many ways...

Sorry head in weird place me thinks, today!

Time to change, the subject!

Saw these Christmas sweaters in Asda just now, made me want to buy them and get back to work at Overseas, where the view from the shop doorway is the Mediterranean.. Christmas tunes blaring from the speakers all day, every day of December, dancing down the aisles in our Christmas sweaters.. Yep, miss work, miss my friends there, miss many of the customers.. Probably why I hang out around supermarkets now! Seeing small insights small similarities, makes me smile... Good memories.

Even those people coming in complaining the advent calendars had run out and no more stock coming in... Well, after three months of being in store they would be gone, right! 

Then the mince pies on the counter, 50/50 ratio more or less, in those that love them, from September to December, and those that hate them, complaining about them even being there for sale!?!

We must waste so much of our lives complaining about what we don't like, don't want... Instead of being grateful and happy about the good things we have, can see, can feel...

Oops, dropped back down to wherever I began my post! Is this what All Bran does!! Lols 

Okay, got my surgery report yesterday, thankfully at last, nothing gory coming up, no red flags and warning bells!

The LST/NG was removed en bloc, taken as one piece, that means, less risk of leaving anything unwanted, they used a technique which mentioned an ESD speedboat!?! And nine clips used!!

Anyways, they did it, I'm healing and all good!

I feel like a good walk along a river bank or through a forest, wellies on and squelching through the mulch.. that wonderful earthy smell I missed of England when living in Spain .. I need to fill up on some positive effects of nature, breathe and pause, and breathe some more..

It did rain last night and stopped this morning before I went out.. But, I am also feeling really tired, I couldn't fall asleep last night, then as usually follows, awoke too early!

I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.
