Life is looking up, the last few years have had their ups and downs (mostly downs but some ups including learning new skills and getting into dressmaking).
I was feeling very content this morning and realised that you do not need pots of money to enjoy life.

I was reading a cognitive behavioural handout at work and it listed some of the common faulty thinking processes which include: if I feel it, means its true, if someone says something negative it's true but if it's positive it's false and everyone is looking at me, they can tell I'm nervous.
Sometimes it's hard to spot these faulty thoughts but they heavily pervade into your everyday life.
It's very important to look on the bright side and not focus on the negatives. I decided there and then I would stop worrying because it had no purpose except to add to my stress levels. Whether I was worrying about it or not, it would happen anyway.

All you need is love and health and le meilleu est encore a venir (the best is yet to come).
Sometimes all it takes is a beautiful bunch of roses to remind you the world is beautiful.
How do you stay positive?

Positivity

The last few weeks have been tough for us financially and with that and the rubbish weather, I've been feeling a bit down.
The weather really affects my mood, anyone else feel the same? I've put all my projects on hold (started a new one then stopped), I just can't seem to get going at the moment.

I'm generally a positive person and not crafting plus the weather and work being stressful we've been having a bit of a tough time.
I've been feeling sorry for myself a far bit and a few posts I've seen online about other people's lives really hit me. A couple of people I know (but don't speak to) have gone through some incredibly tough times and it really puts things into perspective.

Our new motto is: Be Grateful.

We have a house, money to pay bills, our health and most of all love for each other.
What more do you need in life really?
