Siobhans smile in a morning

a 'good' ride on my motorbike

knowing just how fortunate we(Julie, Siobhan and me) are

a few years ago I was on a leadership course at Barclays in Northampton, there were 'optional' sessions, one of which was hypnotherapy with a view to using it to reduce stress and encourage relaxation. I went as I'm interested in this sort of thing

"I want you to imagine....


Your in a garden...........


You can smell the flowers around you....


the birds are singing.............


the sun is shining................



you can hear a stream babbling over rocks as it makes its way to its destination..............."

I almost said, you forgot the glass of wine in my hand and the squirrels playing in the flower bed! thats what I do most summer nights when I get home from work!!!!

What amazed me is that I was probably the most 'junior' person there yet these highly paid people had absolutely no idea what it was like to come home and relax 'properly'


I'm lucky I am............................................
