Back to Living a Life



After writing my last blog post I gave myself a good talking to.  A lot of my apathy and resignation to 'my lot' and the hand that life has dealt me, was because I failed to get the job I had recently applied for and had a particularly horrendous experience at the dental surgery again.  Why do dentists want to kill me?!!!  Anyway,  I started to think about what I can do to get some self respect back.  I am sure that the low opinion of myself has a knock on effect in other areas of my life and as long as I imagine that I have the word 'doormat' emblazoned on my front and 'kick' me' on my back, people will continue to wipe their feet on me or lest treat with disregard.

What can I do to get back some self respect?  Well, I have decided that self care is important and I am making healthier choices in my diet.  I am taking care in grooming and presentation and when I feel better (yes, a debilitating and unrelenting cold took hold just after my last pitiful blog post)  I will take a trip to the shops and buy some new clothes with my husband's hard earned cash and get my hair done.  I portray myself like a working woman from London's 17th Century with one outfit to be worn everyday and one outfit for best.  Yes I joke a little but it is not far off from the truth. 

In addition to taking pride in my outward appearance again I am doing some online courses to sharpen my brain.  The courses are free and will only cost my time and effort to do.  They are available by ALISON and can be found by clicking here.  With hundreds of choices from anatomy to art, photoshop to psychology, masonry skills to multimedia, there really is something for everyone.  I have just completed a course in English writing skills and quite fancy the one on colour theory for artists and designers.

In other news, I am still walking to the budget supermarket twice a week.  Today's indulgent purchases there were French biscuits.  The biscuits can be shared between husband and son and the lovely tins are for me!

Practice Makes Perfect

I have been practising with presentation for my craft stall (sorry to be boring again)!  I have been playing around with ideas for presentation that can be packed away quickly and easily such as the wicker carry case above.  When the fair finishes I have just 15 minutes to be packed up before getting picked up!  I am hoping that I won't have much left to bring home.

When I worked I attended a display skills workshop so hopefully some of what I learnt would have rubbed off and I will be able to dig out some tips from the memory bank!
