General Announcement
(just so you know FYI etc and not aimed at anyone, just one of my rails at life, and people in general):
After yet another jaw dropping moment today pandering to the insecurity
of a selfish individual, my absolute resolution moving forward is to
dismiss selfish, insecure, energy sapping individuals as quickly as
possible and devote time to those who deserve it. By that I mean, those
who create a bit of drama for the attention-seeking love of it are going
to get a quick "whatever", and my exit, stage left - tout suite.
Those who need compassion will always have my patience.
I too have been guilty in the past of all that which I shall no longer
waste time on, so I'm sorry for those times and my respect for those who
endured will be evident from now on.
The fact I will be 50 in
just 20 days time has shifted my perspective. Sadly my Dad only lived
until he was 66, and just in case I may only have 16 years left, I'm not
wasting a moment for a single moment longer.
This will also be
extended to time wasting activities, like driving, during which I will
be singing a lot more, shouting at idiot politicos on Radio 4, waving at
other folk for the fun of it, and phoning friends. Work meetings may
also become both more entertaining and productive.
Also on the
increase will be my general outspokenness, particularly in places where
other people think being impolite is like, yeah, so cool, and shit like
that. Stand-by to accompany me in some hopefully amusing moments where
I'll call them out.
In return, I undertake to put a positive spin
on everything in future because worry is also an utter waste of time,
energy draining and usually unnecessary when the worry transpires
ultimately to be unfounded.
Additionally, and most importantly, I
undertake to be much more giving, patient and understanding with my
family and my friends - all of whom are clearly lovely people to have
put up with me, in many cases for most or many of those 50 years. I
perhaps haven't thanked you enough for that, but I certainly appreciate
it :)
