Weekend Learning's

In a puff of smoke, it was done...

Sorry for the lack of weekend learning's. Due to being on set all of last Monday with my favourite client I did not get a chance to write my Learning’s. And being in the Over The Moon kind of crazy happy I was, when someone pulls the carpet from under Coco’s skipping feet, she’s known to hit the ground rather hard... And face first. Thus all of last weeks Weekend Learning’s were... Null and void. So this is what I learned on this Easter Weekend;

• Angry, loved clients can really put a damper on your holiday if they are grumpy with you, a good cry in the bathroom does wonders to clear the pathological mind.
• Let people go when they want to leave. Your destiny will never be tied to a leaver, no matter how desperately you want them to stay.
• A study found people with lighter eye colours (blue, green, hazel, grey) have a higher alcohol tolerance… finally I know why I am the way I am, team hazel! 
• There's a Japanese word for that "we could fall in love" feeling you get when first meeting a person -- It's "Koi No Yokan". I hope to not have this feeling again for a very long time… 
• A girl should never forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
• I love my snood. And need at least 7 more so I can wear a different one everyday for 14 days... Yes obsessed is a nice word too...
• St Francis has weird road names, Ginger Joll, come on now, you meant Caramel Vodka right?
• "A year from now you will wish you had started today." -Karen Lamb
• When you're up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you're down in life, you get to know who your friends are.
• Sore hearts don't make good travel partners. I can’t stop singing “Up In Flames” by Coldplay. After reading the lyrics I realised the last line is really what the song is about, woe is me.
• I will never be able to play, or watch someone play chess without hearing a Russian accent in my head... Thanks G and Rrrr.
• Being scared about a family member being sick in hospital really makes you reflect about what is going on in your life. Life is to short for mediocre crap. *Get well soon. x
• I am reading Shantaram at the moment, some of the quotes have, many a time, almost moved me to tears. This one really hit home for me;

"One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow.  But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you." - Shantaram.

Don’t let them pull the rug from under you darlings, have a beautiful week.

PS. Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate...

I AM HERE, I am here, in the world, in the place of the world, waiting,
waiting, come, or don’t come, I, am here, waiting.
