18th May, afternoon

 I didn’t wake up feeling great and didn’t go into blackthorn today. I regret it now, I missed out on learning something new and having a good experience. I did go and see my support worker later and he gave me some strategies to try and overcome avoidance when it happens. It is by answering some questions and breaking things down. I’ll try it out. I did some menu planning with my support worker for next week so that’s good. I found out that the level 4 counselling course is on the website for September. The one for Maidstone, my local area is fully booked. But there is one in Dartford which I could get to, so I am finding out if that is open and they are thinking of doing one in Ashford as well so that could be an avenue to try. 

I feel a wave of gratitude for all the good people in my life. I am lucky to have you. Thank you.

PS. Here are my values in a word cloud:

 It’s a while since I’ve written on here. I was cooling today. We made cold cheesecakes. It’s a nice thing to do on a hot day.  I am exploring studying more about ayurveda next year in lieu of doing a counselling course. I might study with a place called ocean in 2024. They have been kind and helpful in explaining the enrolment process compared to local adult education. Also, I expect to possibly be moving next year so there will be some upheaval.

 We made hanging baskets at the Blackthorn. It was fun. We learned more about plants, like what the feed mixes mean for them if we were buying them. I don’t have a burning new love of foliage but I appreciate it. I had a review with my mentor, Sue. We thought once the crafts finish next week, I could maybe start work in the plant nursery. I’m happy to give that a go. See if I develop a new passion for flowers and plants. I am still looking on the website everyday to see if a course for counselling has opened up in Ashford. But still nothing. I’ll be gutted to wait another year, but I might have to.

 I went out for free breakfast at a local church with my neighbour, Claire. I was tempted to cancel and get out of it, but I did go in the end and it was really good. We filled in a feedback form as a thank you for breakfast. They are developing their services and were looking for ideas. When I was in bed at home, I was listening to the radio. It was on the today programme first on radio 4 and they announced the death of Andy Rouke. That was a sad shock. He was the bassist from the smiths. As I was getting ready to go out, desert island discs was playing and it was Simon Pegg. One of his songs was a smiths song ‘when will I accept myself?’ Good song.  I’ve been doing scratch art this morning for my Instagram page. It is fairly basic right now, but as I keep going it will get better. I am prepared to try nowadays. If I don’t there’ll just be nothing. That would be sad.
