Monday bloody Monday.

So, my Dad has been sending me these 'words of wisdom' to give me a bit of perspective and cheer me up and up until today I haven't really been taking a lot of interest in them. Today's was very interesting and I think I may actually take what it says on board. I think I should make a concerted effort to at least find something to laugh about everyday otherwise i'm just going to end up falling into a deep hole and never going to be able to find my way out.

"Now, if you've ever spent much time around a truly happy person, you may have noticed that their mood comes not from what's going on around them, but from what's going on inside them. They have a way of looking at life that doesn't ignore the negative things but doesn't focus on them, either.

Instead, they give the lion's share of their attention to finding things to enjoy and appreciate. They have no trouble finding them, either. Every day, no matter where they are or what they're doing, they find things to laugh about, to celebrate, and to praise.
You know, it's an interesting fact of life that what you see is mostly what you look for.
Our brains are designed to help us notice that which we have decided is important, and ignore or even blind ourselves to that which is irrelevant.

So if you make up your mind to be happy no matter what happens to you, you'll be amazed by all the things you never noticed before that bring you a smile or a laugh or a moment of joy. Most happy people weren't born that way. At some point, they made a conscious or unconscious choice to enjoy their lives, right here and right now. What do you suppose would happen if you made the same choice, starting today?"

Obviously people have days where they're not happy and if something particularly traumatic has happened there won't be a stage where you laugh about something or at least smile but looking back to a few weeks ago when I thought life was never going to feel normal again I don't think there was a day that went by where even though the majority was crying, I didn't at least smile about something.

I am going to stop being all philosophical and start being regular Emily again now. It's 09.42 which is far to early to be writing a blog for today but I just couldn't help myself since there isn't much else to do and I was a bit inspired by the e-mail my dear old Dad sent me.

Tonight I plan to do nothing but tomorrow The F word is on and i'm really starting to love Gordon Ramsay. I know a lot of people seem to dislike him and I completely understand why but he's so entertaining. I like the celebrity cook off challenge that have, the look on his face when ronnie corbitt won, haha priceless.
Wednesday night is Champions League final! I doubt it will beat the last time thet Liverpool met AC Milan in the final but I do hope it will be exciting. Damn sight more entertaining than The FA Cup final anyway. I shall be going on down to Walkabout with my Mummy and Val, let's hope Val doesn't fall asleep and miss the entire thing this time.

Almost 10am this means it is my break soon. Excellent news.

Goodbye.
