Both equally hard to explain to others, but I will carry on trying!!<BR/><BR/>Alex the 'é cosi' thing comes in very handy because there are loads of things that you just cannot change. The thing you can change though is how you react to stuff and just acknowledging that things are as they are is very helpful. <BR/><BR/>I used to use 'whatever' quite a bit until ds started using it on me and I didn't like to be told 'whatever' when what he really needed to do was tidy his room or do his homework! He has now adopted (among other things!!!!!) a very strange shaking of his hand right in my face which the Italians use to basically convey 'shut up and go away you stupid person'..... I am trying very hard to ignore him as you can imagine!Indiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816615932375053120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441002958803653580.post-54206215773393257112008-12-09T10:48:00.000+01:002008-12-09T10:48:00.000+01:00So pleased you are feeling better Indiebird, what ...So pleased you are feeling better Indiebird, what you write makes a lot of sense. My adopted phrase is "whatever", it sorts of sums things up nicely for me. I even managed to find a mug with it printed on :0) xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441002958803653580.post-72118304822747265102008-12-09T10:37:00.000+01:002008-12-09T10:37:00.000+01:00So pleased to read that you have found contentment...So pleased to read that you have found contentment. I love the 'e cosi' bit. :-) I have a feeling that I could be making lots of use of this over Christmas! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441002958803653580.post-91704907553895761322008-12-07T11:12:00.000+01:002008-12-07T11:12:00.000+01:00Oh, do enjoy the book of Rubbish ideas.

Mrs A from The Rubbish Diet has a book coming out around July time too - so there will be plenty to keep you busy. :)<BR/><BR/>Funny about the appearing to be contented thing; I can relate more to the depression side of things. But then I feel that if you know what depression is, the contented side of life has even more meaning because you've been in the darkness; if that makes any sense LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441002958803653580.post-8365854857644583252008-12-06T13:38:00.000+01:002008-12-06T13:38:00.000+01:00Mrs Green, How nice to see you here!!

The Book of Rubbish Ideas by a one Ms Smith that you recommended on your blog so the Buddism for Mothers may have to wait!! So thanks for that. Also you always seem like a rather contented soul yourself. :-)Indiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816615932375053120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441002958803653580.post-27305449233226473502008-12-06T13:19:00.000+01:002008-12-06T13:19:00.000+01:00Hey :)I'm *so* pleased you have reached a place of...Hey :)<BR/>I'm *so* pleased you have reached a place of contentedness.
