A 'live post', as I type at the Bar Italia, Soho. Probably the best cappuccino around!
I have a cheap and easy tactic of halting my irritation that gets caused by the general public's 'shiny happy' mood as the they fill 'my' riverside', on sunny weekends. It was sunny last weekend, I anticipated the problem.
Chosen tactic: out-smile the shiny happy people.
I find it sooooo easy to smile. I always have the right to smile (who doesn't?)
problem solver
Whenever I face a problem, I know that it can be solved. Working out how, can be the tricky thing! My confidence is helped by my history in design. I remember being 18, and being told by my lecturer at university, that everyone on my design course was learning how to solve problems. 'Design' is problem solving.
The joy I get, of singing the intro of the next song on the album, as the current one is finishing. By listening to one track, and the next, and the next, etc, allows your mood to be set by the artist. You can feel the album. When my mood gets broken up, I feel hurt by the music, tricked,
Why I hate 'shuffle'
It was by listening to Radiohead's 'Morning Mr Magpie', that I started singing 'Little by Little', and realised what I was doing, and the silly joy i got. I suffer 'shuffle anxiety'!
Little by Little (a must for cat lovers)
'Hello. Do you need hheelp?'
I was on 'my' riverside promenade. When a young lad approached carefully. As I had stopped, checking my mobile phone, I was greeted by his comment in a heavy foreign accent. Whilst his offer was very kind, I felt belittled. I was fine, there was nothing wrong, yet as I had stopped driving my chair, everyone, even a foreign, young student, wanted to help! Hmmmmmm
I guess there was nothing wrong in him showing concern...but hmmmpf
oh well
I am ok now, but…
Often, I feel this issue (no 'problem'). I try and comfort myself, by telling myself that EVERYONE feels this. You are lucky to have any time at all.
OK, I won't blubber on, you must partly understand.
I also try and comfort myself by maintaining the instruction of living for every moment. Cliche but it is so true.
Life is all about NOW!
