I have begun to realise that once I have a purpose there is no stopping me and I attack it with real determination and energy. But it is easy for me to feel as if none exist and at that point I simply stop and seem to go round in circles. I have been very good at finding things to do outside of all of my online activities, but I am one of those people who likes to fill almost every minute of the day with an activity or purpose. At times I have craved for the routine that once existed, but at the same time enjoy the routine that I have created at home. But I do miss ‘real’ interaction.

I decided to do a little bit of sorting out this weekend and the satisfaction this brought was really uplifting. I also found things that I thought were lost, which resulted in doing things that I had been putting off for so long. One of the most rewarding was find photographs of concerts, musicals, plays that I had conducted or performed in and tis brought back so many positive memories. I shall be posting some of these on Twitter over the next few weeks.

It has also been another weekend of news watching and it struck me how easy it is these days, especially through social media to do the wrong thing. An inappropriate tweet, a mis-judged post on Facebook, the wrong photo on Instagram, a thoughtless comment in response to an interview or an action that really needed to be avoided. But it happens all the time and I really do question whether those making these errors actually think at all about the repercussions or whether I am so naive that I fail to realise that it is all done on purpose. Well, they do say that ‘bad publicity is better than no publicity at all.’

So, the week ahead holds more than one purpose, so for the time being I am energised and happy. I hope you are too!
