New year, new ideas: What matters now {cross post from fishtales}

You know I like Seth Godin's ideas, here's another free book of ideas curated by Seth.

As we all think about what the future holds for us, about new directions and new challenges for 2010, it would do us all good to spend a moment and read some or all of the contributions to this e-book. Just like the old style department stores, there's something for everyone here.

My current favourite thought: enough. It ties in with my idea for Christmas: I wish you enough.

But download the book and read some of it first...

India elfed ourselves

India made this just now, I smiled and giggled a little

World peace by lunchtime

Here's a nice video I stumbled over today, an old standard done by an ensemble band that doesn't stink of the shambles of efforts like Band Aid in the past.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for Bob Marley?

Special girls to be grateful for

First team Home 2009
Originally uploaded by ninefish.

Three of them gave the weetbix tryathlon a good go today, India was third out of the pool and Henny was first round the bike leg, meaning that Jordi was also first round the run leg, making all three of them the first team home in the day's racing.

We then went home for pancakes and walked back a while later for the prize giving formalities

Worth consideration and sharing

lessons learned from quote of the day

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."

Lewis L. Dunnington

and thus: I commit to enjoy every experience I create

very sad now

Heard this morning from my little brother that big John died yesterday

he's been a part of my ears for the last thirty one years, I'll really miss him.

Juli asked him to come and play at our wedding, he couldn't: but he sent some stuff instead, he was played off CDs at the next wedding and I doubt there's been a day when he hasn't been heard at our house at some time during the day, his stuff is on heavy rotation here.

Thanks John, it's been a blast. I feel grateful to have caught you once live [still sad though]
