Out Of It

 I stumbled across this on Facebook today … and loved it.

Powerful and profound...

Do you love Me? Alice asked.

- No, I don't love you! replied the White Rabbit.

Alice frowned and clasped her hands together as she did whenever she felt hurt.

- See? replied the White Rabbit.

Now you're going to start asking yourself what makes you so imperfect and what did you do wrong so that I can't love you at least a little.

You know, that's why I can't love you. You will not always be loved Alice, there will be days when others will be tired and bored with life, will have their heads in the clouds, and will hurt you.

Because people are like that, they somehow always end up hurting each other's feelings, whether through carelessness, misunderstanding, or conflicts with themselves.

If you don't love yourself, at least a little, if you don't create an armor of self-love and happiness around your heart, the feeble annoyances caused by others will become lethal and will destroy you.

The first time I saw you I made a pact with myself: "I will avoid loving you until you learn to love yourself."

We decided to drive early into The Bay and have breakfast at Aquavue before starting our busy day, so we left home at 8.30am.

As we reached Craignish, I realised that I’d left the artwork behind that I was supposed to bring in to be framed. This is a favour for an elderly woman who has recently moved into the caravan park, so I couldn’t leave it for another day.

Adoring Husband chucked a U-turn and we returned home. I grabbed the tube containing the art and then I realised that I’d left the money at home too! So I grabbed that too 😳

Off we went.

We drove past the Craignish Country Club twice and saw nothing unusual or out of the ordinary.

At Aquavue, I ordered GF Canadian Pancakes and a pot of tea.

They brought me the Mixed Berries Pancakes!

Apparently they weren’t very happy when AH asked them to fix it. They fixed it but I must say that I was concerned about what they may have done to the meal as payback 😳

Breakfast was delicious!

After breakfast I walked across the road to Go Girl where I purchased … nothing.

I decided to check out Rolf Light’s Post Office which was a couple doors up and MY GOODNESS it’s a little treasure trove of goodies! So much more than a Post Office! Once again, I purchased nothing.

Next we went to ‘Out of the Square’ to get a quote for framing the artwork. The cheapest quote was almost double what the lady wanted to pay but I left it there and will discuss it further with her.

Grocery shopping was next on the itinerary so we drove to Stocklands with our small list.

I checked out the shoe shop where I purchased … nothing.

I checked my Powerball ticket and won … nothing.

I walked to Spotlight while AH took the groceries to the car and drove it down to meet me. I purchased 21 canvases and some paints which were all 30% off.

On the way home we stopped at Craignish to get some fresh prawns, sand crab and salmon.

Next, we drove past Craignish Country Club where the police were cordoning off the area with crime scene tape. AH and I discussed the possibilities of what it might be about and a quick Google search showed that a male had been found dead on the premises!

It was revealed much later in the day that it was the owner, which is shocking, but they still don’t know if there are suspicious circumstances so more news will come.

At home, I prepared AH’s late lunch, then removed the crab meat and peeled some prawns for my lunch. 

At 4pm I could barely keep my eyes open so I lay down for a quick nap … which lasted two hours!

No dinner for me but AH had last night’s leftovers.

The Voice was entertaining tonight and now I’m in bed feeling very awake! Stoopid naps!

Nite all.
