Realisations

Now, although the rest of this post may seem like a few "feel-good" faux philosophy emails you may have received, I saw it on a friend's facebook "notes" page the other night and really liked it.  Vain as I am, I particularly like the opportunity to insert my own contributions to each line and broadcast them to the world at large!  Therefore yes, I agree, this post is completely self indulgent... aren't they all?

1. I've come to realise that my job...

is a privilege..and an extension of who I am.. which I’d better get used to. 

2. I've come to realise that when I'm driving...

I am mostly really happy

3. I've come to realise that I need...

few luxuries but lots of mental and emotional engagement

4. I've come to realise that I have lost...

too many of my friends and family to Cancer

5. I've come to realise that I hate it when...

I feel rejected

6. I've come to realise the person I like...

will make me laugh like a kid… and will find a loving and supportive way to kick me in the butt when required.

 

7. I've come to realise that money...

is meaningless stuff that comes in and out of my life ..and I probably need to get a grip on that at some stage soon!

8. I've come to realise that some people...

lack the courage to do what their hearts want them to. And that it’s ok.  It’s their path.

9. I've come to realise that I'll always be...

someone who is not fond of detail.

11. I've come to realise that my cell phone is...

actually not an extension of my body and can be left at home, in the car etc for short periods of time

12. I've come to realise that when I woke up this morning...

I wanted heaps of messages from the people I love.  Because I am a message pig.

13. I've come to realise that last night before I went to sleep...

I let the candles burn out and that was probably pretty dangerous

14. I've come to realise that right now I am thinking about...

home.

15. I've come to realise that my dad...

was not perfect – but remains one of the biggest influences in my life 

16. I've come to realise that when I get on Myspace...

I must be really bored and its time to step away from the computer!

17. I've come to realise that today...

might have seemed boring and frustrating in parts but is really one in a chain of days that I will remember and appreciate for a long time

18. I've come to realise that tonight...

would be better shared with real people in the flesh than over cyber space

19. I've come to realise that tomorrow will be..

whatever I make it

20. I've come to realise that I really want to...

live by the beach and play guitar for money

21. I've come to realise that life...

is something I take for granted

22. I've come to realise that this weekend...

would have been better shared with a lover

23. I've realised the best music to listen to when I am upset...

is my “good set” playlist on itunes..Rhythm and melody is the source. Swear to god.

24. I've come to realise that my friends...

are my family and shape my world in ways I can’t begin to describe  

25.I've come to realise that this past year...

has been one of the most challenging of my life in every respect. 

26. I've come to realise that the last person I kissed...

might not know they are the last person I kissed

27. I've come to realise that when people walk out of my life...

I find it difficult to accept it is their loss and not mine.

28. I've come to realise that my vices...

are some of the best things about me!
