Spark of Madness
Like many people the news of Robin Williams' death came as a shock and surprise. I have always loved his films, loved his bravery when fighting his demons and loved his philosophy on life.
I feel the world is a less colourful place without him.
Cheri is running a project called A Year of Kindness, on her blog, and this week suggests that you make a difference with your words as Robin Williams said "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."
So I will wholeheartedly join in this week and as my personal tribute
to Robin Williams I have used one of my favourite of his quotes on this page.
New Year New You - June & July
Well, we are over half way through the year and the effects of my
efforts to make a new me this year are starting to show - less weight,
fitter and a calmer new me!
In June,
when the weather started to heat up, I realised that I didn't drink
nearly enough water during the day and this resulted in me feeling
sluggish during the afternoon. So my resolve for June was to make sure I
drank much more water and less caffine based drinks.
I
swapped my 'first cup of the day and last drink before bed' for a glass
of water and made sure I always had a bottle of water on my desk at
work.
July saw the biggest change so far this year - the offer of a new Job.
I
am swapping a 60 minute drive to work for a 7 minute one and as I
start earlier will subsequently get to leave earlier and could
potentially be walking back into my house two hours earlier than I do at
the moment.
It
is a dream job, one I never thought I would be offered and it comes
with the challenge of learning lots of new skills over the next year -
can't wait to start in September.
This year seems to be shaping up quite nicely - wonder what August will bring?
Reasons to be cheerful:
1. Goals being achieved.
2. Confidence being restored.
3. Believing in myself again.
