A little pat on the back

I find the world a troubled place. And to be honest, I normally can't bear to watch the news as there is always something on there that can reduce me to tears.

Tonight was no exception. So I thought that it was about time to take stock and have a little think about all the really positive things that have been achieved in the last 4 months or so since I started this blog.

  • I have met and now am working with, some gorgeous, dedicated people.
  • We have had tomatoes, all summer, off the enormous tomato "trees" that have taken over the conservatory.
  • We changed our electricity supplier to an Eco supplier.
  • We recycle about 80% of our household rubbish.
  • I remembered to spell check this article!
  • We got ourselves into the local paper and on a community radio station.
  • I am having an incredible amount of fun and am very happy.
  • I try very hard to make sure all the standby lights are switched off every night.

Yes. That's better. Writing a list of positive achievements gives you a moment where you
can feel positive about your own life. It just addresses the balance a bit, as most people find it difficult to praise themselves. Go on, have a go.

It's got me thinking though. What can I do next?
Swap bank accounts. Been gonna do it for a while now so will get on with it this weekend.


Then that can go on my list too.

I know what you mean about making lists of the things you actually do. I'm forever making to do lists and then I get disheartened when I haven't ticked anything off. I made a 'have done' list and it surprised me what I managed to get done in one day!
