SINCE MY LAST POST plus DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED

Hi guys, here's my latest post.

SINCE MY LAST POST
My session at Remploy are going well, I am currently on the second of eight modules. This deals with Stress and Anxiety and how to deal with. It is opening up a lot of issues from my past and issues I wasn't even aware of. Last Tuesday, we talked about how stress has affected me in my life, how stress feels and how it manifests itself. Today, we looked at coping strategies and used the Prospective scale on various situations, my homework for this week is looking at four people with stressful situations and thinking how they might better deal with their particular situations.

A day earlier, we went to the Bankside Gallery, it was the last of their current exhibition. But it doesn't matter who the artists are or what they've come up with, we are always impressed with what they come up with.

We also visited Southwark Cathedral twice recently. Their gift shop has always something we might need or have something we think might make a good present for somebody.

DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED
Yesterday, Claudia and I went to the Royal Festival Hall to view a photography exhibition that we have gone every year since we first met in 2003. We were really looking forward to it and after having lunch at EAT and looking in Foyles, we went to the RFH and the exhibition. To our confidence sapping shock, A London University was holding it's graduation photography session there, seeing all the graduates, their parents, family and friends made viewing the exhibition a little uneasy. We were impressed by the standard of the photography and the powerfulness of the photographs, it was just a shame that we had all those other people to deal with.

FINALLY
Just a quick thanks to Carol Ali for her comments. She's a recent friend I've made on Facebook. Everyone's comments are welcomed.

Until next time,

Bye for now,

Chris
