On Line Therapy

I guess that if you have been a regular reader of this blog you will gain the impression that it I am a very positive sort of person, a glass half full (especially if it is good bitter) person. Well I feel grumpy. So by writing about my grumpiness I am going to subject you are all going to be my therapists.

I suppose that when I am grumpy it is because I am frustrated, yes I am frustrated. At the moment I am try to sell my late mothers site. There is a small glitch that means that I have lost the sale of that house. My frustration is that I cannot seem to navigate a way to resolve this issue. Nobody wishes to take ownership of the problem, and I am getting passed between solicitors and agents while dealing with a neighbour who to put it bluntly is not being neighbourly at all. I guess that I am happiest when I have an objective and I can see a way to achieving that. So lets be positive, I have a new purchaser, he knows about the issue so between us we ought to be able to achieve resolution.

So the pattern emerges, Marion has had a painful dental job done this morning. Added to this she is in a good deal of pain through the arthritis that she suffers from. So as Marion says, she has mid-winter blues. What is the frustration, there is little that I can do to make this better. A but wait, a smile here, a glass of wine etc…. and above all do not be grumpy because that only makes things worse.

I also attended a meeting today; nothing frustrates me more than listening to intelligent people pontificating about something that they do not understand. So the answer here is to let go and not attend such meetings, let people pontificate in ignorance.

Then I started to think about the positive things that have happened today. My IPhone now connects seamlessly to our Wi-Fi without disconnecting every few seconds; the IPhone also works with my hearing aids. I had a great session at the gym today, doing an hour of good quality physical exercise. I have sorted the car hire for our US holiday, and started to arrange the internment of my mother’s ashes. So actually a lot done and good progress made. I have the weekend to look forward to with a Boro home game, what more could a man want, source of depression if they lose though.


So I have no reason at all to feel grumpy, indeed just the opposite there is a much to feel great about. This is where writing this blog has proved therapeutic, I have a great group of on-line therapists, thank you.
