True to my heart.....

Okay, so for those of you who are avid followers of my blip, (and of course I would expect nothing less..come forward my worthy followers) will be aware that after yesterdays blip, a dear blip companion set me a challenge.......to write a list of things that ARE in fact good for me.........
Well, to be honest, I got it wrong from the outset, believing she meant Things that make me happy.......(so thats what I based this on...)
And to this I thought
Mwah ha ha ha haaaaa, I initially thought...Thats dead simple........
1...Drinking Champagne
2...Being a size zero....Hahahaha...that'd only be right in my dreams
3...Eating Haribos
4...Having lots of money...Hahaha....See number 2's brackets
5...Having a Sun tan and looking good
6...Drinking Starbucks on a regular basis
7...Having Scott...
8...Going on nights out
9...Going to nice restaurants...
10...Being successful...

There we go...done...Dead Easy!!!!!

But, most of you will know by now, that slap dash aint my style....Nor are trivial answers......

So I got to thinking.....What REALLY is good for me?....What makes me happy????.....
1...My Music...(see April 20th), This means everything in the world to me...it is my life, my passion, my love, and it gives me great peace...
2...Walking....I love to walk, this is were I seem to do the majority of my thinking..there, and on the toilet...I especially like walking with Murphy, I can tell him anything and he doesn't judge me, he doesn't ever answer back, and genuinely seems amused at my jokes...
3...Being around horses...see May 4th...They fill me with contentment and happiness, Horses are such incredible, sensitive creatures, and being around them and especially when I used to ride India,.....it felt like I was flying...my troubles blew away!!!
4...Knowing that my loved ones are safe and okay...Family and friendship means a massive amount to me...and knowing everyone is happy and content, truly makes me happy...
5...Laughing...This is a highly underestimated pass time and sport, and I urge every single one of you to try it out....it truly is one addiction I'm glad to have!!!
6...Going back to Ireland...I am originally from Ireland, and my parents, my brother and his family, and my 104 year old nan are still there, so I truly Love to get home and see them....They say that "home is where the heart is".....but I will always have Derry in my blood...
7...Scott....My gosh, this man Really does make me happy...I had been desperately in love with that man for 14 years, and we eventually got together last year....1 year anniversary 14 may...sick bags at the ready blippers......He knows me better than I know myself, and he truly loves me, OCD's and all...lol
8...Feeling good about myself...Admittedly, this doesn't happen on a regular basis, but is something I am trying to do more of since my eating disorder...Blipping every day has helped a great deal with this also, as I feel with my topics, I am forcing myself to get to know the real Me better...
9...Being alive!!!!.....Yes seriously....whilst drowning in my eating disorder a few years ago, I nearly died...and to be honest...at the time i didn't care if I did or not, and admitting that is very hard....
I can't believe I ever thought that way..I mean My God, how selfish of me.....Thank god my angels didn't give up!!!...
10...Memories...I have so many memories....some good, and oh so many bad.....but, I love them all...I love that the bad ones are now only memories, and that the good ones outweigh them....Memories are so important, especially for me of the loved ones that are no longer with us...(Holly, my best friend)...and they stay with us forever.....

"Make the best out of today,
because soon it will be tomorrow,
and yesterday a memory, ingrained forever with love and happiness"...
this blip is for aprecious and beautiful Maud...x...
