After a hard day’s graft doing great work, I have to admit that when I pack away the laptop and files, I begin the “I cannot wait” to get home feeling. Yes, once I commit to the homewardbound journey, I am so keen to get there that nothing can stop me.

So why do I always get stuck behind some doos who obviously is in no hurry to get home? And why is he or she is a middle laner who gets over and undertaken?

Why do these people not care that the rest of the world wants to get home as quickly as possible.

Slanghoek? Dis die regte hoek!

So we need to find out where we can buy Slanghoek in UK. Where, who and how much?

Where will you be this summer without a bottle ot three of chilled Slanghoek to make the poetjie that bit extra special?

If you know where to buy it please let me know!

The Crown Jewel of Attitudes to Life

Here is what I consider to be the Crown Jewel of all attitudes to life:

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Elbert Hubbard

What type of person are you? The half empty glass type or the glass is half full sort of person

Well if I apply the positive attitude, my Monday is still half full. It is 13:09pm. Time has flown by and there is still so much good work to be done.

This picture illustrates how I feel:

FRESH!

I love Monday mornings!

Now, I suppose you think I am mentally deficient to say that I love Monday mornings! I have no statistics to hand, but I think I may be on the correct side of confident in thinking that the Monday morning wake-up alarm is not the most welcome sound to a great many of you.

I have been told by a few people that they have to replace their radio-alarm or clocks at least twice a year because of the sever thumping and airborne aerobics these instruments receive.

Me? I am normally awake and downstairs ironing a shirt before the alarm goes off at 05:45am! Yes, I know it disgusts you but this is how my bodyclock has got me trained. And who am I to deny it some sadistic pleasure in an otherwise mundane existance?!

The journey to the office is a breeze. Motorway traffic is very light 99% of the times. I seem to catch a window between the times that moms and dads take their kids to school and when the office workers and transport trucks set out.

Before I leave home I do make a choice about my attitude. I consciously decide to have a positive day filled with doing great stuff. The philosophies I use are a mix of Michael Bungay Stanier’s Get Unstuck & Get Going and the Fish! mantra that began life when a former fish stall worker and now owner of Seattle’s Pike Place fish market, called Johnny Yokoyama faced a grim reality - he was heavily in debt and needed to do something to put matters right.

You can read up on my two recommended philosophies by following the two links above but the most important for me is:

“Choose Your Attitude: When you look for the worst you will find it everywhere. When you look for the best you will find opportunities you never imagined possible. You have the power to choose your attitude. If you find yourself with an attitude you don’t want, you can choose another.”

Have a good Monday! I know I will.
