I know I promised I wouldn't complain, she said, but I'm not ready to start just yet., originally uploaded by boo *.
My title today comes from the charming web site, storypeople.com. I love the quirky little stories and they always make for a great title when my creative juices have dried up. Which they are continually doing in this cold weather. I have a lovely little balcony off my bedroom overlooking my small city garden - and I just wandered out there to see if the moon was visible - and made a hasty retreat as the icy air made straight for the centre of my bones. Urggggh! Now why wasn't I born a Tuscan!!
Work limps on - a rather depressed air hangs over everyone at the moment - lots of sickness, lots of paperwork.... I listened to the Head of Creative Arts giving a talk to some of my students today - he'd been to Benin for Christmas, and was reflecting on how much happier people there seemed - despite their considerable lack of anything material..... he said he thought the difference was, that they really enjoy what they do - whereas we seem to have lost that ability to do something that truly makes us happy. Hmmmmm - thinking back to my last post... How to change course in life without affecting those you're responsible for in a negative way... Any ideas??
