Spend a little and smile

When I feel down I do 1 of 3 things depending on whether I have money, time and energy. I felt down yesterday cos I logged onto this site and found a message from a recently made dear friend who had been planning to meet a lady from this site that he really liked and his evening had been ruined by a family member getting drunk and he had to go and pick him up. He ended the message saying that he was giving up and posted it about 30 minutes after I had logged out of the site. He has left the site and I just wished then and still do wish that I had stayed on the site that extra 30 minutes so I could have helped him. Anyway rather than sit at home since I got paid on Friday I went out and spent a bit of money not enough to break the bank just enough on a couple of books that cheered me up. 1 is a book called Reflections by Daisy Seal. It is full of beautiful pictures and phrases. The other one is humorous called Crap Advice by Michael Powell. Here is a couple of quotes from the latter book, I hope it puts a smile on your face as it did mine.
'Eagles may soar but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines'
'Silence a dripping tap by sticking your fingers in your ears'
'To stop ashtrays from smelling, encourage guests to flick ash on your carpet.'
There's a lot more in that book, none of which is meant to be taken seriously.
The other 2 things I do if I don't have the money is if I have the time I go for a long walk to try and sort the problem out on a sensible not so emotional level or failing that clean everything in sight even if it's already been done.
