Tuesday 31 ST October 2023 : Halloween
Dear New or Returning Reader ,
I haven’t blogged in a long while , I am sincerely sorry for that . I hope that I will blog more .
What a day , so much to catch up on too .
I did do a type up this morning whilst waiting for my train however I think I put it somewhere by accident . So no idea where that has gone . Just shows how long ago I have not blogged for .
I hope that you are well & that you are looking after yourself .
I hope that you remember how amazing that you are & you are enough . You are worthy . You are stronger than you think you are . You can do this . Heather your mindset is - from a job , to a college course , to moving out with the old & embracing the new . What ever it may be … however it may be , however long it will be take you . You can do it , it will be - just believe in the universe & some how it will be if it is meant to be .
What is new you may ask or wonder … ?
Well I am at college in adult education now , doing a Beauty Level Two course . I honestly have my doubts that I can do it however never the less I still turn up , I still push myself . We have just had October half term and it is the first week back .
I am really enjoying it especially the biology side of things . This is me saying to you right here , right now . If you have any doubts at all on a job , a new home , a personal goal , a college course ( no matter your age ) - you want to do it , do not let yourself nor others stop you .
Please bear with me a second whilst I listen to the train announcement . I was just listening to it incase there was anything important as there are train line issues going on at the moment .
That is alright , all good I can get to where I need to be before the last travel home to warmth and dryness .
On the move now hopefully shall not be too long now .
Shock horror I am sat in a seat with my bag keep glancing into the darkness . Earlier darkness now that the clocks have changed again . So can not see much if anything out of the train window / windows .
I am very excited I can not wait until Thursday morning it will be be easy yet so worth it . Dad & I are going across country for the weekend to see his side of the family . It has been a few months now since my last trip . If you haven’t seen my YouTube channel then my last trip is on there & ready to view .
I think I may just blog this up coming trip as the days go by or once back . Will see .
Make a change from vlogging . I don’t vlog as much as I used to either . Although , I love it when I do .
The rain goes Pitter patter , drip drop this evening , getting colder and wetter the last few days or so .
The nights are getting longer as well as darker sooner , less light . I quickly poke my head around the window really closely due to the ever lasting darkness that just appears out of no where now due to the time of year . Just making sure I don’t miss my stop .
I will return soon , to you it will be only a few lines away . To me it will be minutes . See you in a few minutes time . Also I just seen the ticket checker lady . Please bare with me . Be right back .
Approaching the station I need to get off now however , had a random thought . Same thought I had earlier this morning whilst waiting for my morning train too …..
Random thought 💠…
Have you ever thought 💠of a random place you have not visited yet where ever it may be & ever thought 💠about being spontaneous . Buying a ticket or perhaps just driving there …. ??
Or it is just me ? I am sure I am not the only one .
Okay , be right back . Time to get off .
Waiting for journey travel number two next - I don’t drive so the bus it will have to be .
I have some time before it turns up so I quickly had a chit chat with one of the local members of staff here at the station . When you travel most days due to adult education you seem to get chatty with the train station workers . Please bare with my Mum is calling .
Okay so finally in the warmth on the last hurdle of my journey home . On the bus .
This may be rather random to you however , shout out to all of the train station employees out there . You are doing an amazing job & you are worthy , strong & enough .
Thank you so much for your services . We appreciate you all .
Personally I say this also , as my local travels to and from adult education these past two years now , have been utterly amazing .
You kind of get to know each person or sometimes one or a few more than the others . Never the less you know you can easily start a conversation if needed with them .
Another reason as to why I mention this is because , I now know that next week there are not any trains either will be busses thanks to a member of staff I said hello to in passing when I got off my train .
I know that we are going into November 2023 now well , as of tomorrow any way . One more sleep .
The reason as to why I am saying this is because , I know Christmas is just around the corner almost now . It is creeping up on us . I don’t know about you however it is how my brain works .
Christmas is supposedly meant to be all happy and cheerful like you see in most movies nowadays .
However , I like to remind myself that there are less fortunate people out there in the word . So please do not take things for granted nor the roofs over your heads etc . Nor the food upon your plates , the warmth from your heating or fire places etc etc .
Thank you . Please , if you can spare a thought for those who are less fortunate , or those whom may have what you have however are unable to spend Christmas with their families and friends this year or perhaps any year . Due to war zones past and present . Or even those angels that walk beside us that we can no longer see .
Please be grateful for the life you have , the people you have around you .
Thank you .
Try and focus on what you have got rather than what want have not got .
It is the small things in life rather than the big things in life . That is what matters at the end of the day .
These are just my thoughts , I am not asking to agree nor disagree with them . However , this is my personal opinion and thought processes of my blog .
Live in the moment more , not in the I should have , I could have , etc train of thoughts after something has happened .
Remember to live more .
Be kind to yourself however , also remember to be kind to others .
Think Cat Burns song Live More & Love More , pops into my mind .
If you have not played / heard of it and are able to have the privilege to have music etc then please do listen to it . Thank you . I absolutely love the song .
Perhaps I am rambling but that is okay . This is my blog after all .
It definitely 100 percent feels amazing to start writing my thoughts / thought processes down again .
I have always been a bit weird about writing them in an actual diary - in a book . I so much do prefer to type as well which helps .
Once I have definitely decided to wrap this blog up I shall upload a few photos below as attachments to fill the blog up .
So please do go and check out the attachment photos afterward thank you so much .
You know what …. ??
I fancy a walk so instantly and instinctively got off when a lady got off the bus . I am a mile out from where I need to be or just under however , I don’t mind and it is raining .
See you soon .
Passing quote a few trick or treaters on my walk back ti warmth . I am surprised on how many people are actually out in this town .
Have a fantastic rest of the week and weekend everyone !!
Until next time .
Yours Sincerely ,
Yasmin / Yaz Chappell
