principles or standards of behaviour; one's judgement of what is important in life.
"they internalize their parents' rules and values"

synonyms:principles, moral principles, ethics, moral code, morals, moral values, standards, moral standards, code of behaviour, rules of conduct, standards of behaviour
"society's values are passed on to us as children"

I’ve been working recently in a class about who I am and what I stand for, what are my values. It’s a topic that when I started the class I couldn’t honestly say straight off what were the values I have as a person. What it’s I stand for. 
And over the last six weeks of the class it has got me thinking more and more what I am about and what I stand for. 

I can say though that what I would of said where my values when I was a teenager are definitely different to what they are now. And even after loosing my husband I would say my values have changed. Things that I thought I valued then don’t seem so important now. 
Even friendships / relationships now, the values that I bring on my side and what I would like in the other person show the change of time. 
Isn’t it funny how certain things happen and you loose you. You loose what you stand for and the way you are perceived. 

  • Authenticity.             Spirituality
  • Loyalty.                    Friendship
  • Kindness.                 Self-respect
  • Creativity.                 Responsibility
  • Compassion.            Faith
  • Growth.                    Honesty
  • Trustworthiness.       Respect
  • Balance.                   Determination
Properly thinking about it today the list shows what I hope come across in me. It is the values I have now. Not from the past or from the future. Now in a times where I struggle sometimes emotionally and where the fight mentally is real. In a time where I struggle to truly remember who I am I will keep looking at that list and fight to remember what I consider to be who I am.

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

Physical books vs kindle

where do you stand on this question? Physical books vs kindle ? For me I’m a physical book person but can see the benefits of kindle. I love walking into a book shop and seeing all the different types of book that are available. The colours, sizes, designs and even smell makes it more appealing. Feeling the crisp pages of a new book and knowing that you will be the first person to read that, to me that is what it is all about. With a book that you can hold you aren’t worrying about the battery running out. You know that you can just pick it up and start reading. There is also something very satisfying about finishing a book and seeing it closed in front of you. Don’t get me wrong I know that having a kindle has its advantages. You don’t have to carry a extra book around in your bag for one. And that if you do finish one book you don’t have to wait to get to the shops to get another. But does having a kindle really make it feel like you are reading a book? I guess the question wi...

Alone in a crowded room

   Being alone in a crowded room is something that I have been struggling with for some time. I could be sitting with a table of people and feel like it’s just them that’s at the table and that I’m not part of the table.    Would anyone notice if I got up and left ?    You try and start a conversation and the answer is giving to someone else and you aren’t even looked at when a reply is given. And with that you feel like shouting HELLO I’m here. It was me that asked the question. Are you even aware of what your doing ? Do you not see how it may look ? OR is it just my head trying to make me feel like crap. Because if it is it’s doing a really good job.     The noice gets louder and it’s sounds just like one person and not about 30. The want of putting your fingers in your ears and trying to make the sound that little bit quieter.   Sitting alone in a pub and you feel like your being judged but also very much alone. Do you interact ? ...
