Very sad :( That’s a good point Monika – about the number of repair businesses that have now closed down because people are happier to replace than to repair. Very sad :(

I too had an old fridge given to me by my mother which seems to last forever but unfortunately was too small with a tiny freezer and also not eco friendly. I don't know how many toasters, kettles and irons we have gone through in our household and fully agree that it is planned obsolescence ... We have done away with so many small businesses that used to repair these items by throwing away broken or redundant consumer products. We have to dump these residue products somewhere because it's too costly to repair and recycle. All we have to do is Google what happens to our plastic drink bottles!!! We don't dump them in our back yard and very few get recycled. My phone is well past it's use by date by today's standards and also my PC, before it gets replaced I upgrade it as much as possible before replacing. I totally agree with you on this post.

Just live for each day, cope minute by minute. Tomorrow will have its own worries. Worrying will not change a thing except make us sick, unhappy and older. We are either worrying about what has happened (which we cant change) or would should or could happen which worrying wont change either. Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair - gives you something to do but gets you nowhere. I try and live by the saying "Treat every day as your last 'cause one day you will be right. If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, who would you see, what would you say or do and why are you waiting". Appreciate and be thankful for what we have, what we CAN do. The things we dont have and cannot do we are not meant to have or to do, so just accept it. Try and make everyone you come in contact with pleased that you have come into their day. I get great delight in seeing the surprise on the faces of the people I thank for doing the jobs that a lot of us wouldnt like to do, but if they werent done, the world would be worse off. I am talking about the Mall cleaners, the ladies that clean the toilets, the guys that bring in the trolleys - it really makes their day to think they are appreciated. And we all like to be appreciated dont we. Have a great day and take time to smell the roses and be thankful that God has given us another day to love, learn and enjoy. Every day is a gift from God.
