On the cusp of greatness/ finding a brightside

I am on the cusp of greatness.  Not sure what that means or how I know that but I've got a good feeling. So I'm running with it.  

Feel tired but can't sleep.

My wife talked about our wedding vows today:
For richer for poorer - we have always been poor. Still awaiting the richer bit.

In sickness and in health -  lots of sickness and trouble but not the health part. 

Based on the above we think we're due some of the flip side. 

Well I've gone and done it, applied to be a freelance writer. My first step on the rung to becoming a writer.  I may not get it but I must keep going as there is so much uncertainty right now. My job is fixed contract that could end anytime.  Hey it sounds more like a mobile phone sim only deal than a job. A job that helps to provide for your family, keep a roof over your heads and help give you some pride in yourself.

Just reflecting this year we have trodden an extremely hard road but I have met some amazing people because of it. We will continue the fight.

My message today is don't suffer in silence, please talk to someone if you are struggling. I would hate for anyone to end their lives because they feel rubbish and lonely.

I WANT YOU IN THIS WORLD.  I LOVE YOU. I'm here for you.  Grab a drink and let's talk. Covid-19 and lockdowns will never take that love away.

Amazing Ways to Turn Failure Into Triumph

  Amazing ways to turn failure into triumph!   As I stand in this pit of despair having fallen a long way, a few thoughts come to mind: ·         Everyone fails at some point. ·         Fail doesn’t mean the end. It means First Attempt. ·         Tesla.   Don’t Give Up Be More like Musk Elon Musk had the vision to develop the first all-electric car.   Starting with the roadster he had to overcome insurmountable hurdles.   Such as the company losing money, low sales, having to build their parts on-site rather than rely on suppliers.   Despite all the challenges, he found ways around them.     His approach was different from that of any other car maker (such as General Motors) build the car he envisaged first, then work on the problems as they arose.   There was always a lot of staff turnover from all levels in the compan...

5 best things to reduce anxiety

Do you ever worry? Does anxiety seem to hold you back? Well this article is here to help.  Now sit back and we'll get started with 5 things you can do take control back.  Our brains are wired to keep us safe.  Sometimes these mechanisms designed to keep us from harm when we were living in caves, fighting off wild animals can worry us for little reason.   When we start to worry about something our brain goes into what we call fight or flight mode.  In other words it prepares us to fight off an attacker or flee.  Whether there is a physical threat or an imagined one, the brain cannot tell the difference.  The brain diverts blood flow from non-essential organs to ones that will help while we prepare to flee.  So you might experience difficulty in thinking clearly and feeling nauseas.  20 Second breath hold When this happens we cannot think straight.  At this point holding your breath for 20 seconds can help to clear your mind.  Tr...

Importance of Mental Health

I am sitting on the beach with my dog.  Just helped a lady to jump-start her car.  That's the positive, the negative is I am currently unemployed due to mistakes I made a work last year.  My previous employer has complained to the nursing council about me.    I had been planning on leaving nursing for a few years now and had found that I have a lot of talents as a teacher.  During my nearly 17 years as a nurse, I have gained a lot of teaching skills and a teaching qualification.   As special educational needs is a passion of mine due to my 3 children and my sister all of whom have special educational needs I a completed a diploma in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. I have also been working on other skills which will make me employable such as marketing, business studies, employment law and so on. Back to the NMC investigation.  When I heard about the complaints I was working as a teaching assistant in a school for children with pred...
