I Wish

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. ~ Epicurus

Been thinking on the subject of ten things & to be honest I can only think of one...
I never thought I would be so slack with my blog as I have been of late, but i am emotionally tired & physically suffering as a result. work is not going well, I have unwittingly dropped a colleague in trouble but he has concealed something very important & I was never made aware of this. I feel bad but i would have lost my job if i hadn't said anything. sorry, but i am alone here i have to support myself, he gets money from the state despite earning a higher salary than me!!!
Can't believe I got into trouble for not telling them sooner!!!!!!!
Can't blog about it as people I work with read it!!! Is nothing sacred?

It's late. I'm tired and need to sleep, but the siren's song of the neglected blog is too much for me to ignore.

WG - I posted this because your Sunday blog made me think. In my rambling I ran into this. Perfect. Perfect. 'tisn't cheeky at all - you're what caused me to bump into the quote! ;o)

HC - Too bad you had to take your lovely post down. Sometimes poking at other people is the hardest - but most productive - course. Hang in.

Oh my dear Paula - I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. To quote Lui Collins, an old favorite song writer of mine, "The only way out is THROUGH." Hold your head up proudly, knowing you did the correct thing even though there has been a personal cost to you. That's quite heroic, my dear. Be proud.

S - I wake up happy for every day - even the difficult ones. For me, it's important to gratefully remember that I am living my dream, even if the road here has been quite difficult.

Thank you all for your friendship and kind words. You all mean very much to me.

And now, time to sleep.

With love - Concetta
