Behaviour

What makes you nervous?

I was nervous and irritable at the behaviour of one person today.

They are scared of their position,are threatened, but do not want to help or improve things.

So they do not help others.

My nervousness originates from the fact I cannot help them.

Like A Pro!

How do you use social media?

Yes, I have mastered Social Media by treating it like a Giant Advertising Agency I can choose to watch or just leave.

It’s useful or useless.

One click bait that struck me today was” how to attract humming birds to your hanging baskets” ..I live in the UK , we don’t have humming birds.

Sums it up really.

Motorway Mind

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Thoughts racing down the motorway of my mind. I am just an observer.The lights,the colours all create moods and interpretations,but nothing is permanent or even static.Memories whizz by and fade into the distance.Calculations and theories wade through the detritus of overthinking and leave the soul tired and forlorn.

I wish I could sleep

Stu

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

His name was Stu, I saw him sitting in a subway connecting the bus station to the main town where I worked. He was sitting on the ground, I suppose looking for people to give him spare change or buy him a coffee or a bacon roll for breakfast.

I don’t know how I got talking to him, he didn’t seem like other more aggressive homeless people who in truth I avoided .I worried Stu would get into a fight about whose “patch” it was but nothing ever happened.Though I think the Police moved him on occasionally.

One time I spoke to him and he told me a story about someone he knew in prison,for he had done “time”.I can’t even remember what he told me and it was a tragic but funny story and  I started laughing uncontrollably and so did he, it was a shared moment and a good start to the working day.

I walked away with tears of joy in my eyes, I wasn’t worried about Stu,he could look after himself.We lost touch,but even with whatever problems he had I’m sure he is fine.

And it was a very positive encounter.

One Step Forward

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

I remember the moment like it was yesterday,my arms were held high above my head and I was standing very  unsteadily. There were lots of oohs and ahhh s in the room and everyone was watching me.

I put one foot in front and wobbled,then another, the hands that held onto mine above my head  moved forward slowly with me, my  right foot’s chubby toes dangled in the air. Then hit the ground again.

There were cheers of delight , I had chosen the right moment to take my first steps.

Perhaps I have something.

Describe something you learned in high school.

That if you are good at sport ,bullies don’t bother you.

I had a bad feeling I was going to be picked on by a group of girls,but it was just before our one and only ever hockey lesson at school

The teacher wanted to demonstrate the basics of a tackle using a hockey stick  and chose me as her opposition.I stopped her every time she tried to get by me.

Later on I noticed the main girl had decided that I was no longer a target.

It was a weird feeling,but sadly they just moved on to someone else.
