1.1.10

Started 2010 in my pjs, in tears, on a major downer. Two countdowns overlapped. One screamed somewhere on our road and another a few seconds later on Jools Holland. Then fireworks. Paul tried to cheer me up by making a list of things people usually do when they feel stuck in a rut. When I got to “put on funny accents in shops”, everything changed. I smiled, went to the window, saw snow, gave Paul a hug. “Become more childlike”, “learn to love yourself”, “eat more fruit” also elicited chuckles. I have no better wisdom than this. Happy New Year.
