Letters...

110.

Do you ever want to write a letter. Not to anyone in particular. To a random address, a random person, just to see what would happen. Would they read it? Would they reply? Who knows. 

People don't write letters anymore, everything is so easy with social media. I understand, why wait for a long time for a reply when you can receive one instantly? You can talk to someone on the other side of the world freely with zero issues, well apart from the occasional dip in Internet signal. 

I remember being young and always wanting post from the postman, I never had anyone to send me a letter or a postcard but when a school friend would go on holiday and send me something in the post I loved it. It seemed so exciting. Now the only post I get is bills, and they are never exciting. 

Can you imagine writing to a complete stranger? Ha isn't that what I'm doing right now? But in all seriousness, when a stranger gives us a compliment, a random smile as you walk past or a tiny conversation while waiting for a bus, those little moments can really make your day, those moments for some are the only little moments they get all day. Just imagine how a random little letter could make them feel. Hopefully not utterly creeped out!! 

I'd love to write that random letter to that random person at that random place one day...maybe. 

Love,
Beth xx

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie...

This fat chick's gotta get fit!!

18. My loves, I have something to share with you... First of all I'm listening to You Me At Six - Room To Breathe and I can't believe how different they look and kinda sound! I like it though. Weird how I loved this band back in the day and it's been years since I've heard their stuff, thanks Kerrang for playing them on the radio a bunch of times today :) I'm also listening to a bit of We Are The Ocean, now I've never listened to these before and I kinda like the sound of them, not overly fussed though to be fair.  Right then, as you can see by the title of this blog, I've got to get fit!! After talking to my work colleague/friend Audrey (hi Audrey if you're reading this) on Monday and Tuesday I have decided to enter the Run For All 10K in Hull on the 14th June 2015...I know what you are thinking, I won't do it but please, please believe in me, please support me. I've told 4 people so far and the reactions weren't fantastic, in fact the...

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of...
