As is life!

If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals. -Lou Holtz

Snow day, duvet day, hat season!

I patiently awaiting the postman to deliver the newest addition to my family of hats...a beauty from the 1960s of course. Brown faux fur beehive hat with string under the chin and pom poms!

Other than that days have been spent working evenings dancing to northern soul with suited and booted mods, and pretty 60s girls. Sleepless nights have been had...trying to decide where to go in life.

Do I?

a) open a shop (I have no funds, but little debt) which will open late have a jukebox and records playing, selling tea, coffee and serving the healthiest vegetarian food in the day and selling beautiful vintage pieces and interesting books. A twist on the 60s late night mod coffee bars.

b) begin a fully funded ( 3 year!) social work degree

c) study nutrition (4 year) degree

d) study TEFL (teach English as a foreign language) and go travelling the world, and save money by working in Asia

e) continue in the city I'm in making jewellery, selling on vintage fairs and paying the bills by doing part time office work (I dislike traditional office work, dislike probably not a strong enough word) and continue with my counselling qualification

I am the most indecisive person I know. Any action is better than none, and today is a Snow Day! I can't get to work...so let the action begin! now to decide?!!

Little Ol' Tea Drinker me...

I'm trying to take some time out. I'm trying to stop chasing excitement quite as much, as it's tiring! Ha,ha maybe a sign of age? I'm trying to cut back on the shopping, make time to breathe and enjoy the simple things.

I'm enjoying making my jewellery without any pressure. I'm enjoying cups of fruit and herbal tea, on a Sunday in the cosiest little teashop ever. While I'm watching my pennies I'm staying in the city I live, most weekends -and I feel I'm rediscovering it all over again, almost - with fresh eyes.

Everyday I'm writing a fresh to-do list. I've finally realised life is about experiences, people you meet and what you create with them. Life is short - duh of course it is!

Getting lost helps you find the things you're looking for, that's why I can't wait to go travelling once more. Next post will be my hit-list of countries.

I'm making porridge shortly for breakfast, it's raining outside - yet I might still go for that jog - or maybe not?

Life at the moment is tea drinking, reading good books, dancing with friends for hours at weekends until our feet ache and living ever day whilst noticing every moment. I hope to make some candles in vintage tea cups in the next few weeks...

The music I'm listening to so much at the moment is soul...sweet, sweet soul - going back to my mod roots ;-)

Hardly rock n roll but I'm enjoying this stillness.

If could spend one day doing anything...and then continue in that way forever...

How would you spend that day?

Me, I'm not sure other than it would revolve around music and things of beauty and period history. Vague, huh?

Yours is the first face that I saw...

I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
I'm Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.
