Here we go, my very first online blog... It's only taken me 40 years to get round to it but what the heck.
Not sure what to say at this very moment in time, except that I need a cup of tea, so if anyone has a pot brewed and ready let me know and I'll sail round. Remember, I like two sugars in mine, it helps keep the chills out on the high seas.
No matter what happens in life, remember that someone else is having a harder time than you.
That is something that has been said to me so often in life, and I find myself passing that piece of wisdom onto my children regularly, but it's all rubbish really. Why? Because when your having a rough time, even if times have been worse in the past, you still feel like crap. Having someone telling you that someone else is having a harder time doesn't comfort you or make you feel better, you don't jump up with a big smile on your face shouting "Oh, I feel so much better now, knowing that Fred down the road is going through more shit that I am. WhooHoo life is worth living again."
No, you don't give a toss about Fred. It's your problems that matter and until they're resolved they will continue to matter. I'm sure Fred is being given the same advice about someone else having a harder time that he is, but who is that someone. If it's you you're in trouble... If not, then eventually you will find the poor little mucker who is at the bottom of the pile, who has no one with troubles worse than his, and who we all believe is making a fuss about nothing because no one, seriously, can be that unfortunate.
I think the best thing we can do is try our best to get through each day, every day, do something about the things we can change and file away the things we can't do anything about until we can sort them out as well. Help out others if they need it, but don't forget our own needs, and put your kids first whenever you can so they can grow into the wonderful people they deserve to be.
Ooh, that was unexpected. I was only going to say hi. Where did that (the above) come from? Answers on a postcard, please.
