Ralph learns about the mysterious and ever elusive red dot...

Ralph was being a little bugger again this morning, he annoyed Charlie, accidentally slashed my finger, killed the rug, stole some food, and jumped around on the stairs - and that was all before 7am :-)

Juiced veg for breakfast - am trying to counter the effect of Christmas.

'Unwritten'...

New day, new month, new year... There's always this terrible kind of pressure in January to CREATE THE NEW YOU, or MAKE THIS YOUR BEST YEAR EVER! I'm not into new year resolutions for precisely that reason - you  end up feeling like a complete failure when you get to February and you haven't been to the gym every day, got your finances in pristine order, or you've failed in your attempt to give up chocolate.  Instead I try to remember to be very grateful for what I have now,  to enjoy every day for what it is and to take whatever opportunities come my way.  As for past mistakes, well, whatever decisions we've made in the past, we don't have to keep letting them affect us.  Every cell in our bodies has changed countless times since this time last year, none of us are the same people we were, and we have the chance to start again from day to day, minute to minute, to keep on being 'unwritten'.  

Namaste...

New day, new opportunities...

 Red sky in the morning may mean shepherd's warning,  

but it also means make sure you have

your camera at the ready :-)

For my 365...

Out with the macro filters
and a rather blingy belt buckle.

Ralph is mainly being bored today because it's raining, he has ABSOLUTELY NO TOYS that he wants to play with (!), and the other cats are asleep.  It's a recipe for potential mayhem.

Out to lunch at the meditation centre - I love going to fully vegetarian eateries :-)

2/365...

Christmas is officially over - the decorations are being packed away today (no way do they get left up until Twelfth Night).  Ralph is now experiencing gloom because all of the shiny toys he liked to trash are disappearing.  I do enjoy the build-up to Christmas, I love seeing the Christmas lights in the streets, and carol concerts, and the house looking festive.  I don't enjoy the hype, the insane consumerism and the forced jollity of it all, and right about now I'm ready to move on.  David won't want to admit this but we've grown very fond of having fairy-lights on the banisters, so we may have to keep them out (if Ralph doesn't decide to visit the curse of the claw on them and/or electrocute himself that is.
