S + T = E = P + L + S

Worrying. It is an normal reaction to emotion... mostly fear of the unknown. Or of fear of what could happen. And human nature being what it is we expect the worst possible scenario. Or is that human nature? I have learned that human nature is the total of inheritance and upbringing and individuality. By nature I am a worrier. But I have learned that worrying does not stop things from happening.... worry or not they still happen. And worry or not they still do not happen. We worry about an exam test which we complete, then we worry about the result.... no amount of worrying will change the result, be it good or bad. Worry takes up so much of our energy, reduces us to negative people who will cry at the drop of a hat. Is it really worth it? No, but it took a lot to get me thinking like that. So I have a choice, do I worry myself sick that something bad is going to happen, or do I postpone the worry when the something bad actually happens? And what if something good happens, then the worry will have been useless. Useless... worry is useless either way. Sometimes worry is because we have lost faith in the Higher Power, although even that sometimes is powerless. So we have faith in ourselves, human beings, the splitting image of God.

So the equation goes... Stimuli + Thought = Emotion = P + L + S.... it needn't be worry, try and put that on hold.... difficult, but worth a million tries. Know that, been there already. And in my heart I pray for a friend, for Peace, Love and Serenity.

Gladstones and foundation

I think accessories are a girl's best friend. They really are, as long as you wake up in time to put them on. I don't. So I have so many accessories just waiting to be flaunted, but resting dormant until the day when I wake up in time for them comes. I like gladstones right now.... a lot. I saw one which is absolutely perfect, but it will have to wait. Hopefully, nobody is intent on buying expensive gladstones right now. Nigel could have got me one for 25 stg, but surprise surprise the gladstone went up to a 40 stg which I would have been willing to pay anyway. But I log on to the site and find they are 25stg..... humbug!!!!!!!! He could have texted me, maybe a 15 cent text is too much, and they certainly have not gone up in price. I would get one over the web but they do not do international delivery. I am seething it's true. But what can I do, nothing, except that I am going to push Nigel's face into his lie. I suspect there are quite a lot of them, I think I need a squabble. But I suspect that all the squabbling in the world will get me nowhere, because you need brains to squabble. Maybe he thinks he has brains, but he's getting found out every time. He is still Midas with hair, but it stops there.

Surprise, my brother did all my shopping. Incredible. He bought everything, got stopped because he put everything in hand luggage, and bought everything again. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
