Shining Light Book Review

It has been a full year of finding a shining light in every day.

Was it a valuable experience? 
I would say definitely. Even if you are having a bad day, it's a good reminder that it isn't all bad.

If you wanted to develop a more positive outlook overall, this may be a helpful tool.

Shining Light Book Update

10 months of daily shining lights! Some of which include:

- I saw a shooting star.
- Lovely storms and lightning!
- Beautiful cool weather.
- Lil likes lemon sorbet.
- I saw a guy at the train station who looked like the guy from 'Too Many Cooks'.

- The weather is lovely and cool.
- The leaves changed colour!

I love this time of year!

The Worst Idea of All Time

Just an update/announcement that one of my favourite podcasts 'The Worst Idea of All Time' has started re-uploading season 1.

If you are having a rough time and would like some company in the form of two good Kiwi boys as they descend into  madness, you can't do much better than this podcast.

Check it out! 
They are good boiz. They are brave boiz.

Shining Light Book Update

I have been at it for 8 months!

Highlights include:

- getting some good sleep in :)
- Having time to complete some art projects.
- So many candles from PB! I love candles.
- 'Summer' has been nice and cool. (Except for a small heat wave which I and the kittens did not appreciate.)
- A dog walked into my area at work (dogs are not meant to be there). It was a big, black dog and they were so sweet!
- Lunar eclipse!
- I saw a ladybug at the train station.
- I have discovered that the kittens LOVE bubbles!
- I found my mp3 player, I thought I may have lost it forever.

Shining Light Book Update

It has now been half a year of daily shining lights! That's a lot of positives!

Some of which are: 

- I had some very good cheese noodles (something I don't usually eat).
- There has only been a handful of hot/warm days (not a fan of warm weather).
- DEADPOOL 2!

- 'Infinity War' was damn good too!
- A lady had the cutest black pug on the tram.
- I saw a little bird with a red throat. I think it was a European Robin.

I also want to give a shout out to a personal hero of mine: my liver.
It can handle anything, any medicine, process it efficiently and keep marching on. Nothing phases it. I would like to be more resistant to the negative bits of life like my liver is.

It's so easy to focus on what is going wrong (especially when it comes to health), so what is going right for you?
What body part is your hero? What has never let you down?
Give it a big thank you today!

Shining Light Book Update

It has been 4 months since I started this project!

The March/April highlights include:

- My birthday! It was a wonderful day!
- Phil was asleep on my lap when Lil wanted to sit on me and 'make biscuits' on my stomach, so she just sat on Phil.
- Lil has started attacking the toilet paper and pulling it off the roll. (This shouldn't make me happy, but I can't deny that it is funny. I have been stopping her.)
- Daniel Radcliffe is now 'The Other Frodo' according to PB.

Although I may be the weird one because I have never mixed the two up, but apparently it is common.
- The twins like their cat tree (their birthday present).
- A parcel I sent arrived safely, to the delight of the recipient. 
- The 'Get Help' bit in 'Thor Ragnarok' is hilarious!

-PB made me laugh by imagining a Darkseid where one of his eye-lasers came out in a straight line.

From 'Injustice 2'.

Overall, I feel really positive this month.
Day to day, I feel happier.
I have things to feel bad about, but I feel good.

I find myself looking for the highlight of each day.

Shining Light Book Update

It has been two months and I have been writing in a highlight every day :)

Some highlights include:

- I went to the Saalburg.
- I had a bad tooth removed (finally).
- The explosion of Hugo Strange's Lab in 'Batman - Arkham City" was hilarious.
- I found out that you can buy a dead Yamcha (DragonBall Z) figurine.
- Lots of lovely snow!
- On the end of one of Lil's whiskers is a little curl.
- Phil licked my finger, he has never groomed me before.
- PB and I went out for sushi.
- I had a wonderful result from a medical test.
- I saw icicles.
- Phil got an empty bag stuck on his butt, making him a kitty-hermit crab.

Going through them, I see a lot are about something PB did, a credit to how happy he makes me (mushy, I know).

Overall, I do feel more positive in general.

Podcast Review - The Worst Idea Of All Time

Misery loves company.

So in my state of neuropathy, I found two New Zealand (Not Australian, everyone who can't spend 5 seconds googling something to check the facts!) boys who are in almost as much pain as I am.
Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt... I feel like I know them.

And not just because Tim sassed me on Instagram.

The idea behind the podcast (at least season 1, which I have almost finished) is to watch 'Grown Ups 2' once a week, every week for a year, and review it weekly.

Initially this may seem daft, what can you learn from something you have already seen? 
However they surprisingly point out new things about the movie each week.
Be it a conspiracy about embezzlement or a new floundering extra in the back of a scene.

From this podcast, we now have the 'Paddy Schwartz Party Time' song  (which I find myself singing at work)

P P P P P P P P Patty Schwartz Party Time!

and the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour (where the boys give new explanations as to how Steve Buscemi's character obtained is injuries).

Rollup!

I haven't seen the film (and won't) and know that he only has 40% feeling in his body with his hands up in the 'touchdown' position for the past two years.

Don't watch 'Grown Ups 2'. I cannot stress this enough. But listen to this podcast.

This should be part of the medical treatment of chronic pain. Surgery, drugs, support groups, and 'The Worst Idea Of All Time'.

Live every moment, love every day, because before you know it your precious time slips away.
* I initially thought they picked this song as a self-depreciating jab at the decision to do this, but at about episode 35 I realised it was from the film. This was a joke on behalf of the Universe.

The movie also apparently uses the song 'Werewolves of London'.
If you ever hear me singing this, there is a 100% chance I've been drinking.
Drunk me loves this song XD
