Imagine...

When I'm trying to go to sleep and waiting for the sandman to come and sprinkle sleepy sand into my eyes, I imagine things. Sometimes it's what I'd do in a zombie situation, but usually it's not. One of my favourite imagines is a world without bad thoughts. "How childish and naiive!" I hear you cry but hold them horses right there a moment. It's really tricky to imagine all the things that would be different if there were no bad thoughts (and as a result, no bad actions) in our semi-sad world. Here are some of my observations of my imagines...

1. Sorry Locksmiths. No work for you. There would be no need for locks because people wouldn't steal and so everything can be left unlocked. You could just walk to your car, open the door, get in and push a button to drive away! No fumbling about for keys in bottomless bags, or trying to lift an arm laden with 7 Tesco bags up, all trembling with pain, to reach the key into the lock of your front door (an actual anecdote from last night when me and Crazy Meg did the shopping). Don't worry Timpsons, you can turn your hand to making tiny medals to give out to people as love gestures.

2. No CRB forms! Which means less paperwork. Need I say more?

3. No need to pay money into prisons or owt, so more moeny to spend on national treats such as "Pancake Party day!" on which the governement makes pancakes for everyone in Britain and David Cameron is in charge of the squeezy chocolate sauce. We could also spend money on lovely things like painting some of the road markings pink (double pink lines could mean that you HAVE to stop on them and do a little dance in your car)

4. People would still think of others and behave like Ladies and Gentlemen. Young men wouldn't walk extra quick to get in front of you as you are going up the steps into Pizza Express, sneak in a closing door and let it smash closed as you reach it! (Another true story which happened recently. Humph) Men would tip their hats and say Good Day as they passed you in the street, rather than pull the peak of their cap further down over their face to avoid having to do eye-smiling at you. And people would leave kind notes on your car even if they didnt know you, just to make your heart warm.

It's got me old brain whizzing this imagine has... I'd like to declare a late entry to the New Year;s Resolution declarations: I would like to try and do 1 act of kindness every single day. And I will try to record them and tell you all about it. I expect it will be hard. Sometimes I feel cross with the world, like a big old raincloud at a family picnic and I have to shake myself and say "Hannan...stop. Be sunshine not hailstones"

We'll see. Today was my first day and I got my friend Sam some delicious tea (lemon and ginger) to drink at work. That was an easy one.

Wish me luck y'all!
