This post is dedicated to all those people who are struggling right now. I know a few of them personally. They’re hurting so much that they don’t realise that if they just look up, they’ll see a helping hand waiting to pick them up and envelop them into a healing hug.
Hell, I’ve been struggling so much lately I’d have appreciated one of those massive hugs. Like on Tuesday where I thought I was heading back into yet another relapse. I’ve improved back again now, which has actually surprised me.
I can’t give that big hug over the interwebs though. Hopefully I can do the next best thing though by attempting to cheer up a few of those people through …
It’s the return of the music link posts !!!! 🙂 I do enjoy doing these, although I suspect it takes me more time to do them than the cumulative time spent reading them.
Starting off – I’ve been feeling especially broken lately. Hopefully I won’t be totally a lost cause When I’m Sixty Four.
It’s not going to be a summer holiday (more like Autumn) but we just had confirmed a bit of holiday time, which I’m looking forward to already. (And I’ll just confirm right here and now, there is no Cliff Richard in my iTunes library. It is a Cliff-free zone. Although it does have an excellent cover of Devil Woman in it).
This one probably sums me right me up. I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Yep. True. That darn dust pan and brush is hiding from me somewhere … (dropped something the other day and needed to pick up every crumb instead of being able to do it the easy way !)
Plan A tonight was to go out on the town to party with one of the Finance Angels who is moving abroad. But I was feeling too old and broken to come along. So Plan B – watch the cricket. Doh ! Rain intervened. I was going to link Summer Son to banish that rain but … I’ve linked that before and Halo is more appropriate word for our Finance Angel.
Finance Angel’s reaction ? Disbelief that I was 38 and therefore justifying a bit of that “I’m old” feeling 🙂 Perhaps I haven’t grown up way too fast and my Hourglass still has lots to go. That’s a Mindy Gledhill link, really looking forward to her next album. And I have a signed by Mindy picture too 🙂
And talking of something I’m looking forward to, here’s one from Goldfrapp who have a new album coming soon. This is the one which nearly got me in trouble on the bus last week when I nearly went Head First joining in.
I’m hoping that someone in particular is still reading, this one’s for you ! Shame I can’t pull out those Moves Like Jagger as much now but if the right person is around to smile at me, you never know 🙂
It’s not the overt things that matter though, it’s the little things, the Incidentals. (Yeah – I’ve linked that one tonnes of times but every time I hear it, it reminds me how good Alisha’s Attic could be)
And while I’m in the A’s, this can be a hard life but there’s a bunch of people I know who I could honestly say this to : “You Make It Easy“
To close out, I’m thinking about heading into Bristol centre again tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if I’ll find another Caro Emerald* when I chill out in one of the coffee shops ?
*(would need to be someone who can cope with a 2 left footed person)
Maybe I’ll run in to someone I know again ? That seems to be happening a lot lately. But it won’t happen if I keep hiding away.
