Sleepless nights and not the marrying type...
Shouldn't complain but good old ‘jetlag’ paid me a rather long visit last night - Cuba's only five hours behind us but that's enough to mean I was lying awake in the middle of the night for about three hours with all sorts of thoughts running through my head - things about work like the interview I’m doing on BBC radio Kent at 3.00 this afternoon about my new book How to be a Happy Human, as well as the feature I’m writing about it. To personal things like what to cook for friends who are coming every Saturday night (poor them, it might be my old standby - a classic chilie), as well as big personal things like the 16th anniversary of meeting my hubby (wow, time's flown!) plus an endless list of trivial things.
So what's my solution for or after a sleepless night? Well, er, if my 'better half' had been awake too I can think of something that helps sleeplessness! But I won't go there! So some lively music to get me going - works better than a gallon of coffee - a bit of Biffy Clyro, Bullet for my Valentine, and Lost Prophets - an eye opening selection of rockers that can’t be beaten!
Have got a great "your e-mail of the week" from Jason to put up when I get around to it today (I've now just put it up). Keep them coming in!
Well the election is heating up and sadly none of the candidates inspire me. It won't be the first time I say I wish we had an Obama-type to rally the nation. What an inspiration! Loved the speech I watched on BBC world when I was in Cuba last week that he gave before Easter weekend - joking that all the terrible predictions the adversaries to his health care plan made - like asteroids hitting the Earth and the ground opening up - not coming true.
Omg, some of the celebrity news is pretty staggering - like the gorgeous, but obviously not marriage- material, Patsy Kensit heading for a fourth divorce. One divorce is sad, two is dodgy, but four? downright ridiculous and that girl ought to steer clear of chapels and registry offices!
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if you're going through countless relationships it's definitely time to start looking at your expectations (skyhigh perhaps?? Or looking for the perfect partner who doesn't exist?) as well as your own behaviour (Needy? Difficult?) when you're in a relationship. It can’t be all their fault! Definitely a little self-examination is called for.
Enjoy the sunshine - again another phenomenal day - and I'm happy as can be, having had my hubby in my life for 16 years after a mutual friend introduced us. It must've been Karma - after a very unhappy first marriage, and then as a very young divorcee with two young children, being introduced to him was the best thing ever. I hope you're finding happiness in your relationship today - if you're looking for love you going to have success very soon, Pam X
