If normal life ever gets you down and you find yourself wondering what the point is, look at the lead story in the news today and say "f*#! it", and head outside and play in the puddles.
Three women have been released from domestic slavery in central London where they had been held for 30 years, and one of those women was 30 years old! There are plenty of calls in response to this story today to know who your neighbours are, and be vigilant about what's going on around us, but rather than get paranoid about the weirdos and weirdness we're surrounded by, look at your own life and feel fortunate about the simple things you've been able to do - watching an Ashes test in an Australian summer, posting a tweet or changing your status on Facebook, or seeing a movie with friends.
The poor girls in the London slavery incident would never have sent an email, the 30 year old lady wouldn't have even had the chance to catch a train to work. Thankfully adversity like this doesn't befall too many of us, but rain falls on the just and the unjust alike, but there comes a time when you have to get over it and go and play in the puddles.
