Be cautious

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

That’s depends on who breaks the news. Being naturally very cautious, I’d always seek clarification first before sharing it with my nearest and dearest. There is nothing worse than building someone’s hopes up and then knocking them back down like a lane of bowling skittles.

Fact checking always comes first.

Did your parents ever say, “ If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is?”

That ties in with what is written in the first paragraph.

Just like you protect yourself from all that’s bad, and always try to avoid trouble, it’s as plain as night and day that trouble will find you and affect you at some point in your life. And sometimes those occasions come in the shape of good news as misinformation.

You are not now protecting yourself, but all that you love in your life, your family, your friends. Well, it is in my case.

So to cut a long story short.

Fact check, get it confirmed. Check that the news is for you to give. Tell your loved ones. Spread the news far and wide.

And then bloody celebrate like it’s your last day on this earth.

Peace.

Barney the dogs Birthday

I wrote a couple of weeks back about getting a strange invite to a six year olds birthday party. That six year old is a Cockapoo dog called Barney, the original post can be found here: Happy Woofday

Well todays the day, I’m working nights, but before I move off to work I’ve promised I’d pop around with the wife to have a bit of lunch and to give him a pat or two on the head, and tell him he’s a good boy.

Well, I must admit there was a good spread but after the overindulgences of the last week it was one party too much for me. Even Barney who’s been at most of our homes over the last week just looked as if he’d had enough of us all and just wanted some peace and quiet. I’m lucky as Im working nights, I’ve had the perfect excuse to slink off and find my our serenity in the offices at work.

We humans are a little crazy at times and I think even our animals sense this. That said, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit crazy, it makes the day go past a tad quicker, and to be honest anything that spreads a little happiness and produces smiles and laughter is not a bad thing.

Stay crazy people 👍
