  • 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…

  • October Daily Practice: Laugh!

    Did you join me last month for the September Daily Practice – feeling good? It was a good practice huh? So, this month I decided to continue in a ‘good feeling’ vein with LAUGHTER. Yep, the daily practice this month is laugh. Laugh, every day, every time you get a chance, and make a big…

  • OnTheBeach – A Few of My Favourite Things

    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…a few of Maria’s favourite things. Do you remember this song from the Sound of Music? “I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don’t feel so bad” – is not just a lyric from a song, it’s great advice.

  • You Say “You’re a Flake” Like it’s a Bad Thing

    One of my friends was telling me recently that I am ‘such a flake’ – it wasn’t meant as a compliment apparently! Is that anything like you? You get really super enthused about an idea, follow it a little, then get bored/find out it’s not for you/lose interest. Ten minutes later you have another marvelous…

  • Call On Your Inner Actor

    Last night I went to see Macbeth at the Royal Shakespeare theatre in Stratford. As ever, the actors are incredibly convincing – you can feel their joy, their pain, and their madness. This morning I woke up a little tired, and as so often when tired, I fell into the well worn groove of the…

  • 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…

  • Choose to be Happy Anyway

    Here’s a choice for you: You have a flat tyre. You can either be pissed off and have a flat tyre, or you can be happy and have a flat tyre. Either way, you still have a flat tyre. Which will you choose? If you decide to choose to be pissed off, what will you…

  • Here on Earth to Fart Around

    Today as I was browsing through the blog archives, searching for inspiration, I found this quote. “I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.” Kurt Vonnegut I had completely forgotten this piece of wonderful wisdom! Bizarrely, farting around is seen as less important than being…

Do you wait for birthdays, weddings and christenings to come around or do you celebrate more often? Do you celebrate when you reach a milestone, like paying off a debt?
