It has been so long since I wrote. I stopped as I wasn't making anything or photographing anything, then became afraid to come back as I might be judged as being boring! Ridiculous really but part of the mental health roller coaster.
I have realised that I need more structure and routine in my weeks. When you are busy and getting a lot done or achieving a lot, you feel satisfied at the end of the day. When you are merely waiting for each day to end it gets very depressing with nothing happening except the banal domesticity that some of us don't live off.
This all changed the other night as I sat watching 'Good News Week'. This is not a show that I am fond of, mainly as I know it is scripted and rehearsed rather than spontaneous, but also as the host irritates me. However I sat watching it and laughed, and laughed, so many times. I realised that I don't do enough laughing. Those brilliant chemicals being released from my brain were smashing through the cobwebs that had formed over the months. It was the best release.
So lesson one for the week is: Remember to laugh. Often.
P.S. a post without a photo is now hereby OK. Don't like it? go to google images and choose your own! ;) xx

Welcome back Jess!
Of course a post without a photo is ok! no need to make unnecessary rules for yourself. I'm glad to hear you stumbled across a good laugh, I hope you can seek some more out every day.
You are so right - laughing makes all the difference. It's the only way I cope with my life, a lot of the time. We watch a LOT of comedy shows (on TV & DVDs), and listen to comedy radio shows (from the BBC) too, all the time.
Love it! :-) HOpe to catch up soon!
keep laughing x
coming out of lurkdom to say welcome back. Don't worry about no photo, your header photo cracks me up every time!
And I'm one of those annoying people that always 'that show was heaps better when it was on the ABC' - applicable to many shows, sadly
You could never be boring!!!!!! Look forward to catching up soon.

Jess, I agree laughter is fantastic medicine. I remind my humourous hubby often that one of his jobs during our marriage is to make me laugh! He's pretty good at it :)
