Eight Days of Happy - Days 7 & 8
Wow, did I pick a good time to try and do this. But then, I guess it's times like this week for me that remembering that I have things I can be happy about regardless of how much pain I'm in is really what this is all about. To remember that no matter how bad things get, there's always something you can be happy to come home to, to experience, to ( Read more... ) -
Eight Days of Happy - 5 & 6
So I'm a day behind again - but I have a good excuse: See, for the last three days I've been stricken with the most god-awful toothache known to woman and I've been struggling a bit to look at anything in a positive light, let alone be happy about it.
But, in the spirit of the program, I'm going to do what somebody said about acting: learn to use ( Read more... ) -
Eight Days of Happy - Day 3 & 4
I meant to post yesterday then forgot all about it. Anyway, here's two for the price of one - and that's got to be a good thing, right ( Read more... ) -
Eight Days of Happy - Day 2
I have been trying to get myself to do this for a few weeks now and today I finally got out of bed, got dressed and headed out to McKinnon sports ground so I could run around it. Sounds odd, I know, but I have this idea that setting interim goals will keep me working hard until my goal in October, so I decided I was going to try doing the Mother's ( Read more... ) -

EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY!
1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for eight days.
(Thanks to bekytg for this)
I think this is a marvellous idea - so this is my day 1:
I rode my bike to work again today. This is only the 4th time I've done it, but today I noticed that going up the first big hill ( Read more... ) -
Pants on Fire
There's nothing that riles me up more than the deliberate misrepresentation of facts, or the calculated omission of crucial information for the purposes of manipulating people's ideas.

Ah, the joy of travelling... not!
Anybody who knows me knows how much I love travelling - and also knows how much I enjoy telling stories about the sometimes overwhelming challenges that travelling throws in your path. It can, at times, take all of your good humour to simply get through the day.
Or you could be a Pom.

Unfortunately, this is funny
I typed "unfortunately Tracey" into google and this is what I got:
Looks like my career and life is on the skids...
Unfortunately Tracey got too close to the notorious Ferndale Strangler, and she was abducted by Joey Henderson on her way home from the gym. ...
Unfortunately, Tracey’s amazing contraptions often cause havoc and she constantly has to ( Read more... ) -

At long last
I'm feeling very chuffed with myself today. After nearly two and a half years, today I finally got around to riding my bike to work!
I've been meaning to do it since I moved closer to work, it always seemed so difficult to arrange, and although I'd done a practice run on the weekend, it still seemed quite a distance away. Since then, I moved house ( Read more... )
