1. This song. I know my friend Shans will agree. This song has been haunting me recently, and it’s become a little theme song. This is my favourite version – the live one.

2. Pyjama Army Salute. Nicki, Stacey and others…you know what I mean. Tracksuit pants and pyjama pants.
3. Honesty. That’s an all-day, every day theme. But I need it right now, even if it hurts me. It’s okay if it hurts right now, because I really do need more guidance than my ego will let me admit. And when it comes from the right places, I know it is meant with the desire to love, not harm.
4. Learning. I realised this morning that I’m eager to learn something new, so I committed myself to learning about one thing for a week..and it turns out – I love it. I am so grateful for the ability to learn.
5. Not being okay. I haven’t been completely okay in the past week. Either I’ve been physically ill (I’m talking nausea, fatigue and generally unwell – no, it’s not that!), or dragging a bunch of sadness around. It’s okay to feel like that some days, but I need to identify them better. It’s all too easy for me to fall into some weird abyss of bad, where only my ugly voice speaks and there is no sparkle. Funny thing I have realised though – there are people who are not afraid of that abyss, and will happily descend to find me and get me out of there.
6. And then being really okay. Realising that there are people who see potential within you, that you may not have seen yourself. That’s such an uplifting feeling. You should try it sometime. Hat tip to someone quite close to me for showing me that.
7. Sunshine, pizza and laughing. That’s how we spent yesterday – and it was good 🙂
