100 Things in 20 Minutes

So, how hard can it be?

Write 100 things in 20 minutes. This is Judey's challenge, but I want to give it a shot. Call me crazy!

Ready, set.....go!

1. I don't know what to write
2. a blank came on me, then!
3. I think it's more scary than I thought!
4. I love dogs
5. Dogs are best
6. or horses? Not sure
7. I believe that beliefs are the force of us
8. I think we need to change our beliefs to change our lives,
9. I think we have beliefs from when we were young, and this shapes us
10. they don't necessarily need to though
11. with hard work, we can change them
12. I have just realized that I might not have numbered these
13. but I am going to go as hard as I can and get this done
14. Paul built an enclosure for the pups
15. we sat in the sun, watching them play
16. it was a great way to spend a warm afternoon
17. My mum is sulking with me
18. I called her out on smacking her pup
19. she is a rescue dog called Betsy
20. She is a Jack Russell
21. I had a Jack Russell before; her name was Judy
22. I wrote about her
23. I just remembered that
24. She was truly my heart dog
25. I loved her so much
26. My dog is loyal, Mick
27. He is a good boy, but it's not the same
28. He has different qualities that I love
29. Talking of qualities
30. My younger son has good qualities
31. sadly though, he is much like his mother
32. which means he can be a bit arrogant and
33. he believes that he is right
34. and he knows almost everything because he is 16
35. I have to go to therapy next week
36. I have a new therapist
37. well, I have had her for about 6 months or maybe 9
38. she is very good, we do CBT work mostly
39. reframing, she calls it
40. it is working
41. I had a different therapist before
42. it was like talking with my favourite aunty every week
43. except it cost a few quid
44. this one is on the NHS, not private
45. But she is excellent.
46. I hope to get a few more sessions with her because that isn't guaranteed
47. But I hope because we are making good progress.
48. oh dear, I am nearly halfway
49. and this doesn't feel like 50 things
50. but I will continue; I hope it isn't too boring
51. I bought some good books lately
52. One is by Alexandria Stanwyck
53. she writes here,
54. she is great - her book is called "instead of therapy"
55. and I have got a lot out of it
56. and the other book is by Harmony Kent, and it's about prose, Polishing your Prose
57. is the name of it
58. I will have to sort out the spelling of some of these; it's dreadful
59. Not the books; they were fine
60. but this writing which is full of those red lines
61. You know, the ones you get from Grammarly and Word documents
62. telling you off for your errors
63. oh, my time is going to beat me, I believe
64. anyway, I have a sister called Becci
65. I don't speak to her, or rather, she doesn't speak to me
66. we have a difference in beliefs
67. but I still really love her
68. Grammarly doesn't like the word really
69. but I do
70. Anyway, Becci is brilliant
71. she is one of those who should have been a stand-up comedian
72. she would deal so well with hecklers
73. she is super quick-witted
74. I love her
75. and one day, she painted her dogs toenails to match her own
76. she loves to dance
77. she paid the taxi driver to come into her house and take her shoes off for her
78. because she was so tired from dancing the night away
79. one time she wanted these boots
80. they were from John Lewis
81. They didn't have them in her size in London
82. But they did in Glasgow
83. so she flew up to Glasgow and picked up a pair there
84. Slept the night at my brothers
85. and then flew home again
86. she still got them reduced even after flights
87. oh my, it's quite tiring trying to write and write
88. without stopping
89. in hopes of writing 100 things in 20 minutes
90. So there you are
91. my family, Rachel with the twins
92. Dominic, who is very successful
93. Becci, who is also successful
94. and me
95. I am psychologically successful not so much in the normal way
96. well, it wouldn't be me to be normal
97. If my dreams came true, I'd have a horse
98. Not to ride (too fat)
99. but to groom and care for and watch and draw
100. I love them so much
101. I have thought about a companion horse, perhaps too old to ride
102. so I can look after them and love them
103. or two little shetlands to walk up the road
104. I guess I am a little crazy
105. But you know, who needs normal?
106. Normal is a bit boring to me.
107. I write stuff
108. not always good
109. but ok
110. getting there
111. It's good to improve
112. and surely this needs some improving!
