NOTE 12
"You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind.” by Jac Vanek

Inside out ..
I think this is the prefect morning quote to start the day with .. I may just have to frame it and hang it on my bedroom wall ..
My day usually begins with repeatedly hitting the snooze button before dragging myself to the coffee machine and half heartedly getting ready for the day .. on days off I find myself lazing around or waking myself up as I like to call it until I decide to start my day .. I have never been a morning person, I would like to change this somehow ..

I love songs with lyrics which tell a story of which I can usually relate ..
Looking at the Soundtrack of my life evoked so many memories of my childhood days, family moments, holidays and being in love .. a few songs was all it took ..
Some days I like to go video hopping around YouTube randomly selecting tunes I know and love or may not know at all ..
Item 7 - Do you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of producing and appreciating it existed among the human race long before the power of speech was arrived at.

Halfway through this goal ..
I quite often have these Oops moments and they always make me smile ..

1. Don't let your happiness be controlled by something you can't control.

4. Worrying means that you suffer twice.
Striving to be my best self ..
I think being organised is key here to build on what is being done well ..
I have that Friday feeling and a gift set bottle of prosecco I've been looking forward as I've worked my way towards the end of another week ..
With the unlimited choices available today .. there's always a time for music ..
Never underestimate yourself ..
Me yesterday when getting ready to meet colleagues for a social game of ping pong feeling like shit under the influence of this cold I am trying not to think about ..

Sometimes it is better to bide one's time ..
Love this simple truth ..
Having only completed 12 things on my day zero list over the last year, I'm not adding anything new so I can focus on what I've not yet started ..

I told her this today over lunch and a glass of prosecco .. we were in agreement that although we only see each other two to three times a year living ten minutes apart there is no time lapse when we get together .. refreshing ..
For me each day, whatever the day, always begins with coffee in a specific mug specially saved and only used for that first coffee of the day ..
Tis the season ..
My plans for today changed but the day is not wasted when given time to recharge for what will be a busy week ahead ..
The power of the mind .. it can difficult to practise self love and be kind to oneself but you need to nurture yourself in order to nurture others ..
Its important to take some time for oneself even when surrounded by chaotic thoughts of all I've yet to do!
A good reminder to self after my son asked me to go Christmas shopping with him around Westfields today, one can get lost in that shopping centre and not find themselves for days ..
The value of a moment is priceless ..
Life can be busy with lots of distractions and thoughts which can take us away from the present moments yet living in the present is important for learning and personal growth ..
Item 3 - The problem we are facing is not the lack of knowledge for example on environmental noise but it’s the lack of our own world to submit to natures needs. A voice above nature. Annie Moir.
Item 2 - "I am pieces of all the places I have been and the people I have loved. I’ve been stitched together by song lyrics, book quotes, adventure, late night conversations, moonlight & the smell of coffee."

– Brooke Hampton
Item 1 - We're so arrogant, aren't we? So afraid of age, we do everything we can to prevent it. We don't realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone. Someone who doesn't drive you to commit murder or doesn't humiliate you beyond repair.
