Publish and be damned!(as others have advised)!!

Hebs Journal was right when she commented on my entry yesterday - I need contact with others, not necessarily to engage but just to be around hustle and bustle.

I went out for a walk/bus journey and ended up in my favourite place for a coffee. I felt very nervous taking this shot and was kind of glad the painting was above them as if anyone saw me, they might have thought I was photographing that!

It was amazing how many emotions I experienced throughout the afternoon, purely because I was passing all sorts of people, looking at different things and passing places that brought back memories, some happy, some not so.

I passed a wee boy that is at my work, he was in the buggy and he recognised me straight away, he kind of sat up, amd gave me a wee surprised look and a smile, I smiled back and mouthed hi(he wasn't with an adult I knew, so felt I couldn't stop and chat). This made me feel happy that he recognised me and sad at the same time as I remembered the times with him at nursery and I am missing out on all the achievements he is making. It is strange that you can feel happy and sad at the same time.

As I walked I made a point of looking around me and smiling at people as I passed them, and it was nice feeling (sometimes)getting a smile back. I walked passed a family where the daughter was running with her dad to the car, they were so happy and it was lovely to see, I just wish I could still do that.

If you are still reading, well done! I have learnt from passed experiences that it is better to let your thoughts out and not to having them swirling around your head, I'm just sorry that for all of you, this is where I am choosing to let them out at the moment!

Thanks to
Hebs Journal for the advice, this shot is for you!!
