Reasons to smile + eating naked

Tuesday 21st October '14

6:30am and my alarm went off, well that's a lovely way to start the day, I sleepily got myself ready for work and dragged myself out to the car. Oh and it's so beautiful that early in the morning! The cold now that the autumn is coming! The smell of the cold crisp air, and most of all the quietness. It's so cosy to stay in bed on those days but do try and see the outside world early in the morning - it's incredible.

Work has been okay today, I've had hot chocolate and jaffa cakes left on my desk for me, also some polishing spray! My lovely manager knows me too well, I feel so welcome there and I never actually thought that work could be that awesome!

I've been thinking a lot today about publications I've seen about mental health and people wanting to take their own lives and it just makes my heart sink, I'm not going to try and lecture anyone or tell you that you have to stay, I'm going to list so many reasons that I've found and written that will most likely make you happy and some little reasons to stick around, comment anymore that you'd add!

Anything that you feel makes you happy should be a reason to live, it's incredibly hard but you can do this!

So if you're having a crappy day please don't give up. I've not got many ideas to write about tonight and I'm sorry if this is boring! But even if you don't have the energy thats okay, it's okay disappear and come back to things later, you're existing and that's hard!

Sorry that I haven't had much to talk about to due to work, oh a bought a new shirt though! 

It's late now and I'm up early again tomorrow so wish me luck, I've been busy running errands this evening so hopefully tomorrow will also be a bit more interesting.

I wrote a little poem for the missus and I quite like it so, here it is if you wanna have a little look!

You don’t say “I love you” like any one else can. 

You say it in a way that grasps my heart. 

The soothing words lace my ears. 

It takes away any worry instantly. 

Would it be too much to say those words mean everything to me. 

If that was all you ever said, I would have no troubles at all. 

I’m overcome with warmth. 

A feeling that never leaves. 

Even in the darkest nights. 

Those words trace my mind and then everything starts to settle again. 

I love you.

You’re all I ever need.

Bird of the day time folks - Today's is going to be the Puffin! Look how cute (yeah, I do say every bird is cute, but they are!). They are renowned for being the face of Puffin Books and re the clowns of the bird world! They are actually an amber rated bird on the endangered list. Puffins eat mainly fish especially sandeels, and can be found mainly between March and April right up to the North of England, including Northumberland and Shetland and many small isles off the cost of Scotland! They're the sweetest and I just want to cuddle one!

Have a great tomorrow lovelies and catch ya later!
