Ready or not, here I come

First post...

Something I realised recently (and I really do believe in) is that WE are responsible for our own happiness... and the knock-on benefit to being 'happy' is that life is simply a bit easier & a lot more enjoyable... Sounds simple I know. Of course we all get dealt different hands (to some degree of shittiness sometimes) but its how WE deal with the knocks that determine what happens next. This blog is simply a record of accountability TO MYSELF to ensure I take note & appreciate the good. I don't really care if anyone reads this... maybe I'm talking shit... but who really cares??? As long as it makes me smile! I've been through a lot in the last 12 months & I guess this is a record (in 'happy-terms') of my return :) So there will be no depressed down-in-the-dump posts... theres enough of those out there! Welcome to the sparkly world of ShrimpieOooolala.

Good things are happening fir me... back to work next week :) & moving house :) Both of which GREATLY add to my happiness. Tis gonna be a good year! However, got a heap load of stuff to do before EITHER of these things happen!



So for now - here are a couple of daft things that made me laugh (actually out loud). Whilst returning to Norway after Xmas I read this in the KLM magazine... Gotta love the Holland Herald - it ALWAYS makes me smile!

The original HH article... complete with 'the museum of broken relationships' (!!!) 'dairy dressing' & cucumbers as *ehmm* musical instruments... Hahahaha.
