Yesterday

Yesterday I FORCED myself to get out and get a few things we needed. I am becoming more and more reluctant to get out of the house. This is not any kind of phobia; it is just that I really enjoy being at home and reading with the Kindle and in that I am going back to my teenage years. Of course, back then I read to avoid my problems but I am pretty sure I am not doing that this time because I have very few problems now! Anyway, when I did get out, I got some more clothes hangers {which we needed}, a new hairbrush {which *I* needed }, a cookie pan {which Fred needed] and a bunch of little things which I didn’t need but I wanted!

Before I went off to get this stuff, I went to my local hair place to get my hair cut. I know EXACTLY what I want and, much to my pleasure, I got a lady who ALMOST got my hair the way I want it. The fact that she didn’t completely succeed is because my hair is not quite long enough to do this, and I knew that, but I was delighted that she got as close to it as she did. I got a card from her and the times she was there and I will ask for her next time I go. I told her how pleased I was and gave her a good tip. I also got to demonstrate the Kindle for the two women working AND the teen-age boy getting his hair cut. He was VERY interested.

I need something to look forward to. Perhaps I should plan a trip somewhere?

happy. You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but

trouble has come to you because you are depressed. You can change

your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to

correspond, and indeed there is no other way of working."
