A page in the diary "Meandering Thoughts"

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

I got one of those damned emails and thought i would delete... because i had read it before... but tacked on the end of the email was the above statement...

The story made me cry... in fact almost everything made me cry today... didn't go to work... rang and cancelled again... will go tomorrow... i need lithium but not able to leave the house... i will get it tomorrow... need food ... will get it tomorrow...

i am glad there is a tomorrow at the moment... later is good too...

i want to follow the meandering of my thoughts... break our hospitals... the cost of changes... fewer younger people not taking out private health insurance... medicare reforms... in the back of my mind is the tv feeding me my thoughts ... will the US invade Burma? ... overthrow the Junta ... will we have more war? ... i worry will Gyps have more sorrow... will Mrs Studying1 sell her unit and move to Tas... Thanks to Fly for her comments... love Russian Blues... love cats and dogs... i was told 3 things needed for a good life... 1. someone to love... 2. Something to do... 3. Something to hope for... I love my cat... and my family sort of... i do volunteer work... and have no hopes... not sure what to do about that...

My sister gave me a lovely perfume for Christmas... i was using every day but have been saving it... every now and then i spray myself and smell pretty again... only i have one friend who hates it when i wear perfume... so can't win... my step father used to call me the smell and open all the doors and windows in middle of winter to "let the stink out" ... when i came to visit but i wasn't wearing any perfume or makeup... just deodorant... even that was a stink to him... he never wore any and had BO... despite it being non perfumed...

still thinking... what other thoughts... crill.. I am about to make some apples in brown sugar with cream...

right i am off to try my luck at cooking...

take care

Hi Cate,

I reckon (but it's just my personal opinion) that the three things necessary for a good life are:

1. Good quality shoes
2. Good quality chocolate
3. Good quality toilet paper

Nothing else really seems to matter quite so much

Cheers,

I agree with g463 but with an addition:

4. Good quality coffee.

Life is too short to drink bad coffee...

Be kind to yourself

wear the perfume. be selfish! you have to be with things like that. enjoy the fact it annoys others. surely there are things you put up with from others that you would rather not. like body odour for example.

The three things your wrote in your diary are very true things to have. Some of them come to us late in life - like Mr Studying1 and I but others are there for us but we don't always see them but they nudge us with little reminders.

Use that perfume because tomorrow is another day and a day less you get to use a beautiful product that someone has selected for you - the person who doesn't like it - tell them to go jump. You sound like you enjoy wearing the perfume so spoil yourself with it.

Go Cate!!!

Hi Cate
I have a fave perfume that I absolutely love, it's called Fantasy by Britney Pears and it comes in a gorgeous little fuscia coloured bottle with diamantes on it. I sometimes spray a bit on when I go to bed to read - I just love it!
So I say wear your perfume whenever you like - life is too short not to have these small luxuries.
