Invading Other People's Space

OMG!! I was standing in line this evening at the local pub waiting to order our meals. Anyway I am making sure that I am staying further enough behind the lady in front of me because of social distancing. I'm standing there for a minute or so and then I could almost feel breath on me or I could hear the breathing. So I turn around there is a woman older than myself standing about 20-30 centimetres away from me! Are you f**king deadset lady?! I could almost smell her breath on me and it was of alcohol! Lady, you are not socially distancing with a borderline who also has other mental health issues including social anxiety. Oh and I also have had my 3rd booster and so far have been lucky enough to not have had Covid!! Can you please back the f**k up?! The borderline in me wanted to turn around and say "Can you please move?", but the niceness in me thought, just breathe and shut your mouth!! Luckily the lady taking the meal orders was working extremely quickly and I got to the front of the line pretty quickly. But as I am ordering, I turn around this woman is still literally the same space away from me!! Bite your tongue Norty Borderline! 

Once I got back to the table with my Dad and my housemate my anxiety levels came back down (well the Jack Daniels may have helped with that as well. LOL) I was ok, but I seriously can not believe that just because we are no longer wearing masks all the time, that people are not practising social distancing. Covid is still around, so isn't social distancing still a thing? Can someone please correct me if I am wrong?

Anyway what are your thoughts on social distancing and covid etc? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Jealousy Is A Curse

Why is it that people get jealous? What causes us as humans to be jealous? I decided to look up the definition of jealousy and this is what dictionary.com states: noun, plural jeal·ous·ies for 4. jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims.vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood. I, myself know that I have been jealous before, but I am learning that I don't need to be jealous of anyone. Just because others are more well off than me, doesn't mean that they are actually more better off mentally or spiritually. You don't need money and all the expensive crap to be happy. You create your own happiness from within. Material objects will never make someone truly happy, so why be jealous of those that do have all those material objects. I would...
