Will it all matter in 5 years?

When you look at your life now, do you ever think if what you are doing right now will actually matter in 5 years?

Really?

Hopefully what you are doing will make your life better, and will perhaps make a difference to your family, but is that all it’s about, will you have made anyone else’s life better?

Better yet, have you actually tried to make a difference in people’s lives? As a boss I’ve always tried to care about peoples lives outside work. Personal circumstances. I think that life is a holistic approach, and if they are unhappy at home they are unhappy and less productive at work, and visa versa.

I mean, all the bingo I play, I see lots of people asking advice in the chat, and lots of people giving it. Some is good, and some bad, but I genuinely think some of it makes a difference in peoples lives. They come back to the bingo rooms and thank people, and are really grateful that they have a supportive bunch of people they can chat to.

And you know what’s more amazing? Most people in those bingo chat rooms never actually meet.

It’s a ‘bingo home’ away from home! Family and friends in a chat room, with kindness and support after a long day at work, or with other people you are not so fond of!

Try it, you’ll be amazed by what you see.

Why stay at home and play bingo?

Well, I’ll tell you why.  Sometimes you don’t want to go out and see the dregs of society.

Really, you don’t!

On Saturday I jumped on the bus to go shopping.  Another lady jumped on the next stop, sat down next to me, and sneezed loudly. Asked me for a tissue, when I said I didn’t have one, she then spat out a huge disgusting  flem– filled gob of spit, and that was multi- coloured, and too disgusting to mention. I had to get off the bus, cos I was scared that I was going to vomit right there and then.

So I got off and tried to stop myself from vomiting for the next 10 minutes.

That’s why I prefer to be at home, in my clean, neat interior, keeping the strange and at some times very disgusting people, out of my space. I don’t like those types of experiences, and I am still feeling ill after that encounter. Really.

So, I want to stay at home and play ‘home bingo’, because home is where my heart really is. and play bingo?
