Recipes

Dear friends,
i am sorting out all my recipes so I can find things that I can cook as opposed to all the recipes I no longer cook or am unlikely to try. I have a recipe box with recipes on file and I also have a journal with recipes in and then books with recipes marked down. how do you arrange your recipes?

journals

Dear friends, Having thrown out most of my journals written since coming out of hospital I now have a problem solving general journal that I will destroy each time it has finished and a journal of highlights in my life that I will keep. It is interesting the way my journaling changes over time. I still have a lot of my other journals like my walking journal and the one I write at my mothers. do you have journals? does your journaling change over time?

Valentine's day

Dear friends.
I have no special man in my life but I celebrate Valentine's day. this year I have presents, a beautiful bear, a rose bush with two red roses, a cup cake with hearts, a card, champagne. I am having my nails done and going out for dinner. certainly making a big deal. I love it but most of the people I asked yesterday don't do anything. Do you celebrate Valentine's day?

throwing out old journals

Dear friends,
the other day i decided to throw out most of my old journals. i have done this once before when I had moved on to a better place and didn't want to be reminded by the old. A lot of my journaling was problem solving after a breakdown over 9 years ago. A lot of the writing was difficult to reread. now I am at a much better place.
Have you destroyed any of your journals? Why?

Comparing

Dear friends,
I have the terrible habit of comparing my size to other people. i am so aware of being a big person and often look at the size of other people and am often critical. I am trying to stop it and appreciate people for who they are.
Do you compare your self to others with size?

e-book

Dear friends,
I was on amazon ordering a book and as I got off it said on my computer my book was ready online!!! I had just accidentally ordered my first e-book on line. I had had little pdf files and small e-books from online courses but never ordered a kindle book before. I wondered how I would go with it. I love keeping my books but many books I read and give to the opportunity shops so kindle is the way to go with many of my purchases. it was great fun and easy to read. do you read e-books? do you like them?

Not set in concrete

Dear friends,
I had my usual fortnightly massage and my face was hurting from lying on my stomach and the masseuse said at the end I didn't seem to enjoy it as much. we discussed how we could change it and I realised i had set in concrete how the massage would go each week not realising I could change it around each time. do you set things in concrete and forget to change and vary things?
