Just watched the Bucket list with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman – what a wonderful film. I had not heard about it before but my son wanted us to rent it and so we did. Fantastic film, a really feelgood movie. Will see it one more time before I send it back.

You read books about doing these kind of lists, set your goals etc, but somewhere along the line it doesnt really get done -but we should all do that. And as I am currently reading a few books about similar things and ideas (more about this in a few days – need to upgrade my wordpress first) it is really up my ally at the moment and I will definately get this done after the weekend.

And there are actually some cool applications to add a list here and there – perhaps I shall use that?

Watch the movie if you havent seen it yet 🙂

I have started updating an old blog friend;  http://sannaisydney.blogspot.com and I hope you come over here and visit too.

Thanks for reading so far. See you over there!

Its mid winter in Sydney and we have had a few fantastic days. Though lots of rain and thunder last night.

But the sun is shining today and we are looking forward to a great weekend.

Monday morning I went down to the beach for a morning coffee (after dropping little one off at Kindy, hard days work at home). And there were a few whales playing around in the water – not far from the beach. Stayed and watched them for a few hours before it was time to head back home and do some work.

But how inspiring is it not to watch whales – from land – just a few minutes from home??

Otherwise I take lots of inspiration from the guys who are up in the spacestation at the moment. Following the commander on Twitter and the rest of the guys on facebook. Fantastic jobs they have!

Today I am off on a long flight – to the other side of the world.

Flying back to be with family and friends after my grandfather passed away at age 92. He lived a wonderful life and was always a very happy and positive person. During the trip I will contemplate my own way in life and make sure that I live up to his legacy. Being positive and empowering instead of any other way must be the best way forward.

Making sure the I remove all the stress and everything through better organisation. Will listen to some inspiring things on my trip and then when I am back I will kick start a fantastically positive life!

Yesterday, talking to a squashfriend, I was given a new perspective to the things that I think about alot.

Talking about goal setting etc, he used the phrase “aim for the stars and if you fall you end up in the trees, aim for the trees and you might fall to the ground”, this I think is great – Well – you should always aim for the top, but I prefer to have a fallback, but this is something I need to work on.

And about setting goals and aiming high I recommend you read the book “How would love respond” by Kurek Ashley. (see previous blogpost).

And as for setting goals – I have added a link to a blog from a friend of mine who has just set a goal to run the Stockholm Marathon 09, Kalle. Good Luck Guys!

And today I was having coffee with a crewfriend of mine and we got talking about all this too – I recommended the above book and the “Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield and he recommended “The secret”. I will now read that (which the family have read) and come back to what I think and how it ties in with me and my thoughts.

A strange word – but I am very good at it….and last night I practiced it alot – but then I thought – hey – just get on with it – and I did (after reading Jess blog – very inspired after that). Instead of having a cup of tea in front of the tellie – I sat down in the office and dragged out those papers I needed to make some phonecalls to London. Something I have been pushing forward from May…. And last night I called and I feel good – just need to complete a few letters and send and then it will be out of the way.

What a great feeling to get things done! Now just need to keep this going 🙂

and it is very much nicer with November in Sydney then Europe…

Today is a lovely day, and yesterday I got started with the new familyblog and moved over from blogspot to our new familysite. And the new thing for me is to make sure that I update each blog often – not everyone everyday – but at least one of them every day.

I have this for my thoughts etc, the familyblog for updates to family and friends, and I am just about to start one in Swedish only where I can test some of my ideas.

Have had a few down days, could have been a technical dealay and I went back to stand – but today has been a good day. Thought about smiling as much as possible, and it really has helped me feel better and get more things done. Still a little too much to get done – but slowly getting there.
With my head full of ideas about what to write, where and how to write, forums to use to get thoughts where I want them, and what to do in the future, there has been little time to spend on the computer (it has been schoolholidays and kids at home for three weeks). And whenever I get a few minutes to sit down in the office, I read emails, update facebook and just move papers around.

But hopefully this will now change – Happy Thoughts!
