  • A Friday Funny

    In the spirit of the October Daily Practice of Laughter, I’ve been looking for old amusing things from the archives of my blog…and I found this little gem from August last year! Enjoy… In Bill Ford’s coaching newsletter this week: One of my wife’s colleagues when she was working in the US was asked by…

  • Friday Fun – Gis a Push

    In honour of the October Daily Practice, here’s my favourite joke: A man and his wife were awakened at 3 o’clock in the mnorning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. “Not…

  • September Practice: Feeling Good!

    I heard from a friend this weekend who said she was feeling great…because she had spent 2 weeks making ‘feeling good’ her main priority. She made a real effort to make sure she was in a ‘giggly happy’ mood as much as she possibly could. I immediately decided that this was a brilliant idea and…

  • Feeling Low as Rocket Fuel

    What happens to your forward momentum and enjoyment of life when you feel down? Does your low feeling suck the life out of your dreams, desires and love of life? If your answer to that is yes, you’re not unusual. Most of us have a chain reaction to feeling low – feel down, start being…

  • Finish the Year with a HOORAH!

    After a week back at work, I am still not really back into the swing of things! I’m still a bit slow, laid-back and relaxed about ‘getting stuff done’! It’ll still be there tomorrow. To be honest, the changing weather patterns and daylight also encourage me to chill out a bit too – I’m convinced…

  • It’s My Favourite!

    Do you remember when you were a kid and everything was your favourite? Mr Whippy ice cream? My favourite! Chips? My favourite! Lego? My favourite! Adam and the Ants? My favourite! The funny thing about this is that when you have everything as your favourite, it gives you a surge of enthusiasm for your life.…

  • A Bit of Monday Fun: Random Thoughts

    I saw this over the weekend and it made me laugh a lot so thought I’d share it with you: Today’s Random Thoughts (not mine, but funny just the same!) 1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than…

  • Ooh, That Was Fun!

    Yesterday I happened to be stuck in traffic on the M6. I was hot, I was hungry and I was moving at about 3 miles an hour. Plenty of reason to be peeved, eh? But then I looked across at a very angry chap in the outside lane who practically had steam coming out of…

  • I Get Knocked Down…

    …But I get up again. Nothing like a bit of chumbawumba on a wednesday! Lol. Much as I detest the song, I like the sentiment. I get knocked down, but I get up again. A Japanese proverb says it best “Fall down 100 times, get up 101”. This last week I have been being knocked…
