So - Unfortunately - Due to the fact I'm technologically retarded - The blog I created before has basically vanished - This is because I failed to read 'the small print' and didn't realise I'd chosen a pay web site which I DON'T want to do so have re-created it again!!
For anyone who didn't read my first blog....The main point was an introduction really to say I'm blogging because I LOVE talking and 'rambling' and it helps hugely with my depression to let things out and have something to focus on. I also mentioned I LOVE music and you'll see the topic comes up rather a lot in my rambings!
I've just had one of my 'child-free' weekends, so I've been all over the place and had a cracking time actually...pretty tired now but c'est la vie! Saw Example with my house-mate at the O2 and he was absolutely cracking! Crossing my mind throughout the concert is how much I couldn't bear to be in the 'standing' section without a seat! And this isn't even something which has come with age - I can't bear standing in a crowd or a queue - It just makes me really anxious. I LOVE being out and in nightclubs and bars but only where I can see a 'way out'. Even from a distance, my eyes were flicking from Example and going to the standing area which was going NUTS and people were crammed in and could see lots of shoving and drinks being thrown. You'd probably have found me long after everyone had gone scrunched up in a ball in the corner shaking! But, we did have seats so I was blissfully happy soaking up the music and having a dance and a brilliant time!
On Saturday, amongst other things, I went to a local Spa with a beautiful and wonderful close friend. We chatted but also rested in comfortable silence, the kind you can only get with someone you're close to, know what I mean? Had a gorgeous treatment and saw my old secondary school french teacher which was random!! Part of the treatment was a dip in the 'floatation' tank, a wonderful pool under twinkly lights with soft music containing 100 tonnes of salt!!! You lift you feet up and bingo! You're a 'floater' (those who know me well will know I find this pretty funny!!) It was 40 minutes long and I was asleep within around 90 seconds!!! I can basically sleep on a washing line - It's a gift!! I actually LOVE sleeping - If I felt it was socially acceptable to add it to my list of hobbies on my CV, I WOULD.
Today I have been to my wonderful church - We're focusing, at the moment, on "Throwing off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles" It's a bible verse from Hebrews and is the first part of our church's verse for the year. It's pretty heavy going actually and doesn't make for comfortable study sometimes but it's SO important for me to hear, particularly now I'm so far, time-wise, from 'the bad stuff' and I have those last little bits which I need to let go off. I'm over the worst but there are little bits which 'niggle' and I find it hard to really REALLY totally let go. I'm there though and it's been, although hard, a really really liberating time for me. I SO love my faith and my very real relationship with Jesus and I hope that through study, prayer and, well, life, I can run my race to the very very best of my ability....Possibly with a bit of cheek and A LOT of laughing!!!
I think that's sufficiently 'rambly'! Oh, I purchased the new Robin Thicke album and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! And, a tune which made my house-mate roll here eyes, A tune I 'shazam'd that the DJ played on Fri night before Example came on. I'll tell you what it is next time as it's upstairs and, frankly, I can't be bothered to move!!! Haha!!!! So watch this space!!
