    Erm...... but I know you’ve got this!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Do you think "I'm more drawn towards existential therapy as the audio made mindfulness sound incredibly dull and like a huge load of " would be an acceptable answer?

    The book chapter is ok so I'll be able to summarise ok, it's just the two people the chapter author interviewed for the audio. One sounded like she was nodding off and they botth waffled more than me trying to hit my word limit!

    Funnily enough, mindfulness first came about as a way of dealing with lower back pain!

    Just sitting down to start my essay. So far this morning I've showered, fed the cat and myself, cat bolted his food and threw it back up so cleaned that up, banged my head as the playhouse door had come open so went to shut it, or try to anyway...

    Essay writing now. And a big bag of fizzy cola bottles!

    Oh no! Yuk, cat sick.... How did you bang your head on the playhouse?

    Good plan with the cola bottles!
