P365 – Day 145 it’s all too much

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how I’d come to the realisation that ‘life is now’. It’s not something that happens once you’ve worked out what you want to do and how you’re going to do it. Although I was feeling pretty unwell that day, I appreciated...

P365 – Day 129 happiness, what? (9/5/2011)

Today was a day of rest for me. After thinking on Saturday I’d recovered from what I thought was a pretty run of the mill cold, I spent yesterday feeling rather unwell. I got up this morning to go to work, had a shower, realised I was never going...

P365 – Day 124 milestone journal

I mentioned Gretchen Rubin’s book The Happiness Project earlier this year. It’s a great book and I’ve been following Gretchen’s blog for a while, but have to admit that I haven’t been putting a lot of the strategies into practice. One idea I recently came across on the Happiness...

John Lennon once said, ‘Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted’. I don’t know when he said it or the circumstances that he said it in; whether it’s one of his lyrics or something he said. But I don’t really care where it comes from – it’s a view...

P365 Day 2 – love you forever (2/1/2011)

juniordwarf asked me to read this book to him today. It’s a story about a mother who has a baby, and it tells the story of the baby growing up, and at every age, despite all the frustration he’s caused her during the day, the mother holds him while...
