CUT and DRY : May 2010

Travelling to London

Work always seems to get in the way of life. Demanding work factors have resulted in absolutely less

"me" time the last three weeks. So I thought I should do something about it.
I've decided to take a little break from blogging. I will be in London for a few days.

Hope you all have a great week and are in good spirits. I will miss you guys!

Missing you already...

So there's no better way to kill a relationship (be it a romantic or friendly relationship) than to stop expressing your feelings.
I don't like to express my feelings, but the more I share my emotions the better the relationships become. I always feel better when I express or release of the bad feeling. It is hard at first but really worth it.

This is the most important part to prevent a build-up of feelings and festering and reduces the chances of being misunderstood.

I believe that it is quite essential to express feelings without attacking the self-esteem of the other person in a manner that is productive and respectful.

Non-blameful and non-judgmental manner; a kinda like:

"When you did that thing I felt that way." That simple. But I have to admit that sometimes I find it really hard! And I fail miserably.

What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear. xx

Splendid Cheese

I'm a huge lover of cheese. Okay, I have to be honest and say that I'm obsessed with cheese. My motto: You can never have too much cheese!

'You Banbury cheese!' The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare (1564-1614).

Just a little bit of this fabulous Parmesan cheese grated over a green salad, takes it to a whole new level. And there's nothing like a grilled cheese sandwich...buttery, salty, gooey, and comforting in all the right ways.

Defining Happiness

To live happily is an inward power of the soul, mind.
Aristotle.

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus.

I strongly believe that happiness is the warm glow of a heart at peace with itself.

To live happily is an inward power of the soul and mind. Happiness is a choice. So, I choose to feel happy.

Happiness must not be asked to anyone, because it is a personal experience.Not trying to find answers of what happiness is; just try to answer your own question.
Martha Washington once said, "The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go."
Take care of yourself. Good health is everyone's major source of wealth. Without it, happiness is almost impossible. And remember, the seeds of happiness only and always lie within.

What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear. Please, speak your mind, your thoughts really matter! xx
