One week on from my last blog and thought I'd give it another whirl. My blog last week was posted on Tuesday 31st January. I woke up on Wednesday 1st Feb, it seemed a bright morning and I fumbled for my my and had a look on Facebook and twitter. The night before I'd had quite an angry exchange with my ex via text all to do with my frustration at her blocking me these social network sites. Me and the ex were best friends, I know people say let go totally, act as if they never existed blah blah blah, but she has also been hurt by it all and we have txt'd and phoned and been more than civil like good friends should.
Anyway, I decided before getting out of bed that this day, the 1st of the month was going to be my fresh start. I would be positive and use some lessons I'd learned from a book called 'The Secret' heres a link to it on Amazon.The Secret. I'm not going to bang on about it, but basically its about the universe and the 'law of attraction' in that you attract to you what you give out, dont be afraid to ask the universe for anything you want in life, but be grateful, gracious and forgiving.....I know it sounds all hippy tree-hugging bollocks and I was sceptical when I read it, but I've got to be honest, it bloody well works.
So setting off for work that day I asked the universe for me to be peaceful, joyess, forgiving and asked for all friends and family to be looked after or 'blessed'......It's not a god thing either because to be honest I'm an athiest. Got to work and straight away won a spot prize for answering a simple question (It was some weird party day at work) nice big tin of luxery biscuits!! An hour or so later my phone started buzzing in my pocket, so I took a trip to the bog to see if it was important.....It was a mate of mine who'd interviewed for a job a few weeks earlier. Things had dragged on and I'd resigned myself to not getting it......I GOT THE JOB!! Its also a dream job for me working from home!! Fuck me, did I praise the universe that day!!
So In just one day my life basically turned upside down. I know the black dog is always going to be around the corner, but if I can stay positive, give out good vibes and generally be good and nice to people, I will attract good things to me. The downside to the law is that if you start to worry, think bad thoughts, are bitter or unforgiving you're going to attract more and more of that shit down on you! I apologised to the ex for bad words that might have been said and felt quite bad because she'd not had such a good week herself. I ask the universe to keep an eye on her from time to time, but also thank it for giving me a proper chance at a new start.
I play a bit of guitar and write songs and this week I have my first gig of the year so here's the plug...
8.30ish
Wednesday 8th Feb
The Viper Rooms
Division Street
Sheffield
It will be a strange experience because I'll be doing new stuff about my recent trails and tribulations, maybe I'll find it cathartic, it does help with the depression to get it out so to speak, who knows, but if there are any of you reading this and can make it down its free entry.
Finally its my last week working at the job I've been doing for the last 10 years, the place holds so many memories and been a party to 10 years of highs and lows. It will be a strange feeling leavingthe building for the last time. So if any of my old friends form Billy Hills read this.....I've escaped at last!
Right I just need to try and persuade the ex to unblock me on twitter and Facespaz coz I miss my mate and then its full steam ahead into the next chapter.
Keep on keeping on people
