There was an article in the Sunday Times magazine about how to stay optimistic, which maybe I'll come back to another time. One of the truisms that it listed was that if you can help other people it takes you away from your own issues or problems, and of course anyone who has children knows how true that can be.
So I took a very small step in that direction today by buying The Big Issue from a lady outside Sainsbury's. I'm not big on New Year resolutions but I'm going to try to buy it every week from now on. I didn't realise until recently that the vendors actually have to buy all the issues they sell (they get 70p from the selling price of £1.50), with no right of return, so they're making a real commitment.
