Those of you who know me will probably know I am an atheist! I don’t think this makes me a bad person, I’d like to think that actually it makes me better, because I believe ‘this is it’ this life is the one and only chance we have of happiness and I don’t think that is a selfish thing because if we are happy in this life hopefully we are more likely to make partners, family, friends and those we meet along the way happy too!
Not that I am always successful in my quest just ask my other half LOL! But I do try (very trying I hear him mutter)!
Anyway yesterday I decided that I would stop reading and listening to the news; it is so depressing, on the whole, but I have no staying power so that lasted well 12 hours and for a large part of that time i was asleep! Anyway this morning I was perusing the main papers and came across Johann Hari’s Heaven; A fool’s paradise which ‘inspired’ (Ha) this blog, and I think its worth a read.
Also yesterday, during my browsing I found a lovely picture of a friend and neighbour…also worth a look!
If ever you want cheering up go to arrivals at an airport. It’s always so lovely to see friends/ family & loved ones meet up again. Especially when kids have made banners & signs and then looked bewildered when a long lost relative comes through that door. There’s a bit at the end of ‘Love Actually’ that sums this up!!
