This morning is better - thank goodness

I hate being down in the dumps and I hate idiots (I still can't deal with them even though I should just smile and move on).  I find stupidity (for the sake of it) extremely irritating but that's because I don't get it, like I don't get a lot of things like reality shows and the manipulation of the press to dumb down everything.  The inability for people to think and rationalise and then act rather than acting first - stupid as that can sometimes be.  

So it was nice to see today's moment in my inbox:  

“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. As soon as you honor the present moment, unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.”


- Eckhart Tolle

Easily said but quite hard to execute.  I always feel good in the morning because I haven't had time to let my computer of a brain loose on all the "problems" of the day.  My fault is that I see problems where there are none and I find that I don't ignore and move on fast enough.  I can actually do it but like yesterday, this idiot got under my skin.  Because he's a poor lonely Internet Troll, I should just ignore him and move on.  I didn't do that - he made me angry - or rather my brain told me to be angry and of course what on earth is there to be angry about?  Nothing at all, he's made up his mind that he is going to take a course of action and rather than me saying straight away - please take it to arbitration I tried to reason with him.  I suppose there is that in my favour when they come to adjudicate it.  I'm sure this will all be giving him a thrill up to the point where I said enough go take it to customer services who will explain what the word "used" means in context to his purchase (and he knows it and so did I!!!) 

So today, move on, look at some houses, a Lodge meeting to attend and in many ways, I should start to enjoy myself a bit more :-) I'll be away from the computer, amongst some friends and also will have seen a couple of houses that may be suitable.  We have only seen one place that was really suitable which didn't have a garage but there is a cunning plan to get over that.  I've dropped the Agent a note to see if it is an acceptable plan.

Today's houses both look to be exactly what we need but again one doesn't have a garage but we have a plan b for that too.  I hope that either of them are suitable - the second one looks nice and large and is in a very good location, so near to the High Street that you can be there in a few seconds.  It is next door to a club but hopefully it shouldn't be that noisy....  Famous last words.

So it's the morning, it is sunny so I will probably get myself out this afternoon and walk to the meeting (and back if it is nice).  A good walk there and back in the chilly air is just right.  It was funny because when I walked back on Thursday night there was hardly any traffic about.  It might be different tonight but let's see.  I like that after a few drinks, I can wander home and be relatively sober when I arrive :-)
