Yesterday was a bad day for me. I was very depressed and had a day of good old fashioned blubbing and wallowing in it. It happens from time to time due to circumstances in my life that rears its ugly head once in a while. The reason I tell you this, is because all things happen for a reason. Due to my severe depression I couldn't be bothered dressing properly and going to the shops. Everything was too much of an effort. You know the feeling we've all been there sometime or another. If you haven't then WOW, but WOW lucky old you.
Anyway, due to this listlessness I had to go to the nearby little shop instead later in the day. In fact, 7pm that evening. I dragged myself along hoping to see no one. No usual smile on my face or lightness in my step. A dragging, listless, puffy and red eyed person slumped into the shop.
Outside was a homeless chap trying to scrounge a bit of anything. Everyone was giving him dirty looks or completely ignoring him. I was one of the latter. I went in and looked around and couldn't even be bothered buying anything. Couldn't think of anything I wanted. Some cheese and parma ham and that was about it. Couldn't be bothered. I paid and walked out. Once outside, I saw the same chap standing looking as defeated as I felt.
The people in my world (not family) have treated me pretty shabbily over many years and I am used to being treated as a nothing and as a person no one anyone cares about particularly. It hurts. You rise above it and the "on a good day" me, puts it all in perspective and gets on with my lot. Because I always smile and am welcoming with an extrovert personality doing everything for everyone, they all think that I'm tough and made of steel. I'm not. Inside I hurt very badly but am darned if they will have the satisfaction of knowing that. Nobody knows the real me and what I go through each day of my life and it is because of this that when I glanced up and saw that chap looking as defeated as I felt I did what I did next.
I walked up to him and asked if he was hungry. He said yes. I don't usually give money as they often spend it on drugs or too much alcohol. I have given some at times but not too often. I took the chap back into the shop with me and told him to get whatever he wanted to eat. He was so good. He tried not to pick much or anything that cost much. I had to almost make him get more. He got a couple of things or so and then I told him to get chocolate and drinks if he wanted to. We got to the checkout amidst quite a few not very pleasant looks and I asked if he smoked. He said yes so we asked for what he wanted and the chap behind the counter tried to give him just 10. I got him to change that and had everything put in a bag. They tried to hand it to me and so I smilingly said no, that it wasn't my shopping and could they give it to the gentleman I was with. their faces were a picture.
How terribly sad the way they looked at him. They also looked at me in horror as though I had done some unspeakable act that was totally unacceptable in today's world. He and I walked out of that shop and I knew that he was worth 10 of each of them. he was terribly polite and grateful, wasn't trying to get all he could out of me, he was honest and appreciative and, in fact, all of the things that most people today aren't.
I haven't told you this to have you think I'm good or kind. I have related this to you as it is meant to be a blog that's a diary of my life and that means the good and the bad. Yesterday was a bad day for me which resulted in something good. It taught me again, that yes, I may have a load of **** in my life but how lucky am I compared to him? Who knows what led him to be where he is right now. How dare we all go around judging people by how they look or behave compared to us? We are all God's children and to Him we are all equal and as important and special as each other. We are meant to love one another as ourselves. he never said we had to like them though!
To help another person in need is something that we could all do in our own way. I'm sure that those of you who read this do. In fact, I have no doubt about that because I have spoken to each of you via e-mail and know you are all good, kind, loving people. To those of you who may be new to this blog then I am assuming that you too must also be good people. I am going to finish this little bit with one of the poems I wrote several years ago. Maybe it may help us all think a little. If only all would be the same in the world.
God Bless you all and thank you for listening to my ramblings,
Lorraine
LIFE'S QUESTION WHY?
Many a time I sit alone and ask
The question why? Do we all
Have to suffer such sorrow or pain
Until the day we die.
Well it's sent to us for learning
To help us understand
So we might care for others
And lend a helping hand.
For without it we'd be nothing
And never would progress
We'd stay the same throughout our lives
From our birth until our death.
Although at times it seems so bad
And the reasons never clear
It's moulded us and shaped our lives
And banished all our fears.
So take some time to sit and think
What life has offered you
How those experiences changed your ways
And helped you to come through.
Be grateful to the people or
The times that caused you pain
For these have made you who you are
And you're the one who's gained.
With thanks to the lovely young man I met yesterday for reminding me of this.

NAKED ROMP IN THE GARDEN
I have just run around my front garden naked enjoying the fresh air and sunshine on my bare skin with all of my neighbours staring in disbelief and horror. Actually, that's a lie, but when I was in advertising we were taught to start with an attention grabbing headline - well that was it. Got you wondering though didn't it? Bet it conjured up an horrific sight in front of your eyes. Wouldn't you love to do it though just to see the looks on their faces? I wonder if Gok Wan is on Twitter. Maybe I could get him to visit, teach me that my fat, lumpy body which only knows one compass point - due south, is actually a thing to be proud of. No, thought not.
Anyway with clothes firmly in place here I am at home having bought my THIRD pair of grey trousers for lawn bowls. How exciting you may think. actually no it's b****y boring isn't it. Why the heck did I join. Both of the first 2 pairs are wron They have faint lines on them. Lines I hasten to add that no one further than 6 inches away from my side can see. Not quite plain enough though so, I get home with the third pair, which are completely plain, to find one of my ducks sitting at the front door and looking at me in disgust. I had put food out by the pond before I went into town, but obviously the other's had eaten it and by the time he arrived it was finished.
As I got out of the car, he only waddled up to me quacking his head off and going slightly demented that I was late. Can't you tell he's a man! It was his fault for being late in the first place. So, I go inside with him standing by the back door (he was at front door) waiting for his food. Container filled I duly came out and started walking towards the pond, him waddling in my wake still doing the duck equivalent of mumbling under his breath all the way to the pond. His wife was not there today, she probably left him when he started moaning earlier on. Can't say I blame her.
Anyway, very little post today just to let you know I haven't forgotten you. Off to lawn bowls now to see if THESE trousers are allowed. If not then I'm going to take up something where clothes aren't important in this fussy way. I went to Buckingham Palace and didn't have to worry so much for goodness sake!
Speak to you all very soon, take care,

PSYCHOMETRY PART 1
It is difficult to know what people want to know about when you are not face to face and can only talk in this manner. I said earlier on that I would talk of psychometry and will do so this time. It is not really the stage I would have liked to go to after the 2 posts on awareness, but I don't know if any of you are doing this with someone else or are doing it alone. No-one has told me and so for this reason, I shall talk of psychometry before stage 3 of the awareness. I hope that by next time you shall all have found someone to sit with in order to do step 3. If you haven't you'll have to skip it and try some other time.
Psychometry, for those who don't know, is when we can hold an object belonging to someone and get information from it. For example, I was at a friend's home last week for lunch and over coffee she happened to show me a notebook. A lady she knew and had looked after had written lots of instructions about what she wanted to be done after her death. This book had been given to my friend to carry out the instructions it contained.
As she handed me the book, in my mind, I instantly saw a desk in a darker coloured wood. It was a bureau style desk and I just knew that this was where the lady had written the contents and had kept the notebook locked up. I described the desk in detail and it proved to be correct. I then went on to give a few more details and described the lady and gave a couple of names. The handwriting gave me more information about her character and personality. A date came into my mind, well it was a year in the 1980's rather than a month, and it turned out that was when she had died.
Although so many years had passed, there was obviously still enough of her energy attached to the book for me to "read" from it. The person I was visiting hardly ever touched it and it was still kept in a drawer. That is probably why I could still get information from it that pertained to the original owner. I was even able to feel where the problem was and her symptoms. I described them and said that she had died with a problem around the stomach area and went on to say how it affected her. I was correct-she died of stomach cancer.
That is the case with most objects. It can be all sorts of things. I have been in a pub that was a couple of hundred years old and above one of the big old walk-in fireplaces was a huge wooden beam set into the wall above it. I felt drawn to touch it and smooth my hand across the wood. As I did so, I could see a large sailing ship from way back with what appeared to be slaves aboard. There were hangings performed on the ship which I felt was either near or on the wood that I was touching. The person I was with knew the history of the pub and certain things connected to it. It turned out that the wood in question actually HAD come from a ship and although they didn't know about the hangings, did know that there were slaves aboard and that the ship was used for transporting them.
For any of you who wish to try psychometry it is quite simple to do. It is not going to work for everybody and one's senses need to have been awakened in some part first of all for it to work. It is very easy to start imagining all sorts of things when trying this for the first few times and so you should be aware that if you get quite a bit of information, then it is probably from your mind and not the object you are holding.
In order to do this exercise, I would like you to obtain from a friend, a couple of items that you do not recognise or know anything about. They should not belong to your friend, (unless you are totally unaware it is theirs) but to people you know nothing about. Obviously nothing of value should be given to you if they are not to be there. What it DOES need to be, is something they use often that will have good energy on it. The person you know should give you the items in separate envelopes and they should not have touched them themselves if at all possible. For example. If someone gives a key, then that person should place it in an envelope, seal it and hand it to your friend. The next person should do the same with their item. These envelopes must then be given to you intact. No names on the outside or clues of any sort should be given to you.
The only reason I am saying all of this is because you are new to it. It doesn't matter to me who has held it in the meantime particularly, but those starting out don't need mixed energies on anything that may confuse the information they get. Obviously, the item needs to be something that the owner knows things about. For example. A girlfriend of mine gave me a ring to hold at one time and asked what I could get from it. I started to pick up odd bits of information here and there and each time she shook her head blankly. I told her that I was obviously not getting a proper link if everything I told her was incorrect, to which she replied that she didn't know if I was right or not. It turned out she didn't know anything about the person because she had died before she was born and so the information meant nothing to her. What was the point in that then!!! So you see, the person you are doing it for, needs to know the history otherwise it is stupid trying to do it.
I think for today I have said enough. It has introduced psychometry and what it is about enough for you to understand what we're going to try to do next time. I am not going to go into anything in this blog too deeply as without meeting you or being able to talk to each other it would make things too difficult. Instead, all of these exercises are just tasters of how things can be done. I hope you all do realise that. For now this is enough to take in and you can have time to think what you can get and from whom. They can be in the room with you while you do it if you like, but it is also something you can do alone which is why I am doing this instead of awareness stage 3.
I hope this has been written in a way that isn't too complicated or confusing and that it helps you understand a little of what can happen with psychometry. To sum up. You will be reading the energy which is attached to the item. You will not be linking in to anyone unless you are natural mediums who can do this anyway. If that happens then you don't need me telling you how to do it do you.!! Hope you've enjoyed this bit and I'll do the next part tomorrow or Wednesday.
God Bless,
