Hello to my internet readers be you few or many!
I am Christine a 21 year old still trying to figure out who I am, it's only natural and sometimes it takes longer than you think. I must confess I've had numerous occasions when people have thought that I am younger than I look. On the one hand this could be a good thing for later in life as it is a compliment, but it does get tiresome. Right now I'm in the process of watching the Spain vs Italy Euro final, i'm not really fussed about who wins it's just such a shame that England didn't get there. Maybe another year, yet everyone is just saying it's typical England not making it but we need to keep the faith. Yet compare the English footie with lesser known sports having worldwide competition for example in Ten-pin bowling which has had the European Women's Championships and the World Youth Championships which is still happening now. For the Euro tournament we had a team of wonderful and talented girls who bowled their hearts out and gained a bronze medal in a doubles event and a Gold medal in the team game. Why are things like this not supported enough or recognized more? It was amazing to watch the events unfold via Facebook through status updates and live streaming from Ustream. I am so proud of the girls, they all did a fantastic job. When I was a bit younger I had the dream of wanting to be a part of the England Team, but I don't think this dream will ever be realized. I don't have enough time for bowling anymore now, what with having a job and my current situation not making things easy. Also I feel I have been a little let down by coaches, I don't know whether having so many has soured my chances to be as good I can be. I get so much information from different sources that sometimes it's hard to follow the one I feel is best, or even trying to fuse them altogether. It saddens me that I can't do this, but I've played my part for Sussex a few years ago and should be proud of that, but I won't stop altogether I will bowl as much as I can.
I have been in a daydream mood all day. While I waited for my bus I was sat there constantly thinking. I don't usually sit and listen to my thoughts as they fly through my head at lightning speed. I found myself going from thinking about my boyfriend and how much I miss him, what our future will hold, what I need to do at work and all sorts. It kind of scares me but I'm trying to be positive about everything, I have been very negative in the past and it's something I'm working on, not just for myself but everyone around me. YouTube has been a big help in the form of vloggers such as Shaytards, Katersoneseven but most especially Cory Williams of SMP Films and Charles from CTFxC. These are examples of the type of person I want to be, happy, content, loving and calm in situations whilst always remaining as postive and grateful every single day. The little things really do matter, I try to find them everyday. Just one thing that I wouldn't notice. Look, take in the details, find the beauty of it, be grateful for it and see if it makes a difference. Everyone should try this. If you've read this far, as I know I've rambled, then why not give it a go yourself and let me know what you saw and what you felt about it. Let me give an example. On the way to work the other day I noticed how clear the sky was and that I could see Ramsgate and the wind farm on the sea in the distance. I was picking out details like the buildings, the sea and it made me grateful for my sight and the beauty the surrounds me. Right footie is at half time now, I'm off to go get a drink and chill out. Have a wonderful Sunday and I shall hopefully blog again soon. Sorry for rambling but you'll get used to it =)
