Heyy,
I'm feeling pretty good today and thought maybe I should spread a bit of positivity!
Such simple things can make your day..a stranger just saying hello one of them!
So I'm feeling good, no reason for it really, no specific event but I am just content. So if you are having a good day whoo!! and please smile at a stranger buy a homeless person a hot drink (It is surprising how much helping someone else can help you!). If your day isn't going quite so well here are some things to try:
1. Have a nice hot shower/bath and just take an extra 30 seconds to enjoy the warmth!
2. Go for a walk and take some pictures!
3. Change your sheets on your bed and arrange some cushions on the bottom
4. FAIRYYYY LIGHTTTSS!!!! (this needs no explanation)
5. Ring your bestie and have a good old rant/ catch up!
6. Find an animal and hug it....even if its not your animal! (you might find a dog with its owner on your walk^^^^!)
7. Now if you know me you know that I have a slight obsession with socks but putting a pair of fluffy socks on always makes me feel a bit better!
8. Find some new blogs to read
9. Have hot chocolate!!!
10. As I briefly mentioned above helping someone else can make you feel great! Maybe start volunteering, buy someone in need a cake, take some children's presents to a paediatrics ward.
11. Light your favourite smelling candle
12. Put on your favourite clothes, the ones you feel great in. These may be pyjamas or your fanciest frock!
13. Have a quick nap!!!!!
14. Read a book/Listen to an audio book
15. Cuddle a teddy...you are never to old for this I promise.
16. Meet up with someone you love
17. Watch your favourite film (Mine is Inside Out!)
18. Try and learn something new.....sewing (*laughs a lot as has a complete inability to sew!*)
19. Comment on my blog....I will definitely reply and we can have a chat!
20. Put on SUPER LOUD music and sing and dance
21. Paint your nails, take off (or put on) your make up, do a face mask.
22. Indulge yourself this may be in food, using your favourite perfume or even just wearing you favourite underwear!
23. Have a chat to your pillow...tell it everything that is on your mind!
24. Scream really loud
25. Stand up right now, walk to a mirror, look yourself in the eye and just smile, force a laugh, smile.
I hope you are feeling a little happier now!
P.S have a great Christmas if you celebrate it, if Christmas is a difficult time for you please pamper yourself and keep yourself safe.
Love you all

LGBTQ+ Community
Heya,
If any of my friends see this I feel a groan coming along, yes I'm going to talk about the LGBTQ+ community (again for some!) because I can and other people who maybe wish they could can't.
I often have conversations with peoples about gay pride and how it is ridiculous that it is acceptable for people to show off their sexuality. The first point I have about this is why would you not want to dress up go out and have fun for a day! Secondly maybe on a more serious note surely it is a good thing there isn't straight pride...it means that you haven't had to fight to be yourselves! But I mean to begin with who even decided what was going to be classed as the social norm? Did someone sit down and think "People must be a specific gender and they must have romantic relationships with the opposing gender" How did it even start?!
Someone close to me was having a conversation with me about a couple they met. This couple was a lesbian couple with a child now I see no issue here however the person close to me (lets call them Gerald!) was finding it hard to comprehend why one of the ladies in the couple felt the need to refer to the other as their wife. Now WHAT!? If two people are married they are husband and wife, wife and wife, husband and husband or maybe even gender fluid. So why is it an issue for a lady to refer to the person they are married to as their wife. Its a fact! That person is their wife!
Another subject that comes to mind as being closely linked is the US presidential election of Trump. It deeply saddens me that a man with such extreme views on many subjects has been given power. America particularly has come a long way with the rights of homosexual couples and I can see this development going backwards. I really hope that those in America make a stand. I just want you to think about something for a minute, think about two people, one who you feel romantically towards and the other maybe a family member or a friend. (person A and person B) Person A tells you they are bisexual for a heterosexual person this can be hard to hear but if you truly love them should this matter? As for person B would you care if they were straight? So should you care if they aren't?
I want to leave with the statement "I support rights for llamas this does not mean I am a llama (it would be kinda cool if I was!)
Love you all

Achieving your Dreams
Hi all,
Sorry it's been such a long time! Today's post is going to be a bit contrcontrevetial but just hear me out!!!
So as cheesey as this sounds my ultimate dream would to be an Olympic show jumper. The likely good of this happen if is very slim and I have accepted that, I'm not trying to be all oh feel sorry for me I've given up on my dream. No! Today I realised that when it comes to my horsey life I am happy with how it is at the moment. I was constantly pushing for more wanting more because I had a goal and if I wanted to get there I had to really push for it. Now I am never you g to ride in the Olympics end of story! But at times I have been so set on in wanting to get as close to this as possible I lost a love for what I was doing!
I feel we can apply this in many aspects of life, we get so set on getting good grades we forget about enjoying learning new information, learning about others, ourselves and to be honest I think if we stopped stressing about where we are going and actually enjoyed what we are doing we may well get better results in the future because we have taken the time to understand not just revise words!!
My point is, of course you should strive to achieve what you want but in this process don't loose yourself or the passion for what you are doing.
I would like to thank some people for re-kindling my love for horses as animals, for giving me some confidence in myself and telling me that although I'm not perfect (far from it), although I am not the best at what I do that isn't really what matters. IF you are reading this you know who you are!
My dream is probably different to yours but just think about if getting to where you want to go is worth sacrificing your desire to get there.
I am going to try and post a bit more from now on. Have a good Christmas and if you don't celebrate Christmas have a good break over the festive season.
Lots of love
