A Moment of Joy

By Happiness & Joy4 Comments

Recently I’ve been living to a new philosophy: find a moment of joy in each day. Whether it be something big or small, noticing those little moments of joy during the day has made a big difference to my happiness.

Here’s some of my recent moments of joy:

  • Coming in to see the cats bed tipped upside down with Dylan attacking it. Then seeing the bed move and realising Russell is under it.
  • Laughing with a work colleague until my stomach hurts, over something that’s seemingly not funny.
  • Attending Shaun and Sarah’s Wedding (see The Wedding of the Year).
  • Going for a walk with Sye.
  • Seeing people make real progress in turning their life around.
  • Reading a funny status on Facebook.
  • Listening to music in the bath after a hard day.
  • Getting a text of someone you wanted to hear off.
  • My faviourate song coming on the radio.
  • Getting time to mediate.
  • Finding out Torchwood is coming back on TV.

    • Try looking out for the moments of joy in your own life, it will make you feel much better. Remember it’s not all doom and gloom.

    Twenty Five

    By Happiness & Joy2 Comments

    Some Random Survey

    1. Gender?
    [] Male
    [] Female
    [X] Not Sure

    2. Age?
    [] 18-24
    [X] 25-30
    [] 31+

    Oh I think I’m male, hang on I’ll check. Yep it’s still there. Despite the joking around my gender, the second question – age is a serious one! I’m going out of the 18-24 box to the 25-30 box. I’ll be twenty five this week, Saturday to be exact! So to celebrate I toyed with a few ideas (see Birthday Celebration Ideas) and settled on a night out in Blackpool.

    So if your out, perhaps I’ll see you there! If not I’ll be sure to share some of the less compromising photos taken on the night on the blog and Facebook.

    Yuletide Preparations

    By Education, Friends & Family, Home2 Comments

    With Yuletide (or Christmas) on it’s way, I had a week off this week to prepare. Monday I bought a real Christmas tree, named Trevor:


    (Click on image for full size image, Trevor was decorated by me at some point in the week!)

    I manged to spend time with my Grandma on Wednesday, leaving time for mum on Thursday evening and Saturday. I caught up with my good friend Simon on Thursday as well. In between times, I crammed in my assignment for my Leadership module (see A general update). Finally finishing it yesterday (Friday). So now I can relax, well apart from the last minute Christmas shopping.

    My poor laptop is starting to die though, so I had to buy a new one online. Hopefully once it arrives and is up and running I will get back to normal blogging and facebook habits.

    Take care all,

    Antony

    Will an Iphone 4 change my life?

    By TechnologyOne Comment

    Well we are about to find out! I’ve upgraded my Blackberry Storm to an Iphone 4. I’m so excited! I’ve wanted one for soo long, in preparation for it’s arrival I’ve been on iTunes and downloaded some apps, here’s what I’ve downloaded:

    Blogging – WordPress App
    The essential tool for blogging from my phone, so now I’ll be able to blog from anywhere!

    News – BBC News, Metro, The Guardian, MEN News Apps
    I couldn’t decide on one news app, so I’ve downloaded four.

    Pagan – Star Walk & Pagan Gods Apps
    Star walk apparently enables you to look at constellations, moon phases, etc. so should be a good app. Pagan gods is an app with apparent beautiful artwork images of popular gods/goddesses and gives a bit of information about them. So both should be handy.

    Entertainment – Movies by Flixster, Civilization Revolutions, TVGuide.co.uk Apps
    Now I’ll be able to check out the latest movies on my iphone, play civilization (one of my all time favourite game series) and always know what’s on TV.

    Living Frugally – Ace Budget Lite & Jumpsoft Money Apps
    I’ve downloaded both of these to try. The idea is that I can set my budgets and manage them on my iphone, rather than on scraps of paper. Will make a massive difference to my spending.

    Shopping – Amazon Mobile UK App
    I’ll be able to shop and track my orders on Amazon, on my iphone.

    Productivity – Documents to go, Google Mobile App, Dictionary.com Apps
    Will be able to view, edit, etc, microsoft office documents with documents to go, which will come in useful. Google will enable me to search the web and Dictionary.com will ensure I can spell.

    Health, Stop Smoking – iQuit & Easy Stop Smoking Apps
    Downloaded both and will try both in my first serious attempt in sometime to quit smoking.

    Health, Diabetes – Diabetes Log & Glucose Buddy Apps
    Downloaded both and will try both to help me better take and record my blood sugar readings.

    Others – Facebook, Free Translator, Navfree, Met Office Weather Apps
    Facebook – essential for life. Free translator just-in-case I ever need to write an email in another language or somet, Navfree apparently like Tom Tom but on the Iphone and Met Office Weather so I’ll know what to wear.

    Ok so maybe I’m exaggerating (as I have a tendency to do) the effect it will have on my life. But if it will help me to make some positive changes in my life, it’s worth it right?
