I like to do three things everyday:
1. turbo charge my brain before anything important by doing a little puzzle, preferably, on the inspiring side.
2. laugh a lot, specially in the middle of the day.
3. think about something new – a new way to do something or a fresh point of view or figure out how to get more done in a day or sit back with a friend and solve the problems of the world. Its always good to think about world hunger when you truly want to avoid thinking about anything more pressing.
Why do I do these three things everyday instead of something like:
1-eating a vitamin tablet
2-exercising
3- deep breathing?
WISI (what I say is) good habits are all very well but having fun is even better.
And if you must be logical about it then a body needs an active mind to function well and that laughter is probably as good as exercise and if scientists are to be believed then we live longer and feel a whole lot better when we try to include something new in our lives even if it is something as practical as trying to get more done in my day.
Oh – on occasion I do drown a vitamin tablet and run and breathe deeply. Just don’t want to make a habit of it.
So this blog will have 3 major categories:
Every morning a nice quote in a scrambled form. Unscrambling a quote seems to get my brain ready for action every morning.
Anything that I find funny – a creative way to insult my nearest and dearest or good one liner from a movie or something that I find cute – smart t shirt lines or a picture – anything really.
The third category will be something new. Might be a tip or an opinion or something. I’m not sure what – wouldnot be new, if I already knew, now would it?

I’ll be looking here for my daily dose of puzzles, yuks, and fun surprises. Thanks!
