Link Love--Chaos Edition
May 13, 2016
For the past few days, our master bathroom has been torn up
while we have our shower and tub surround rebuilt, and a new floor laid. As these things do, what started with a few tiles coming loose
morphed into something much greater. Oh, well, after nearly 20 years, it’s time
for a change. While I’m close to home supervising the work, comforting the cat
(who’s having a nervous breakdown) and researching such fun home projects as
“how to take wallpaper down” and “hanging a towel bar on ceramic tile,” here
are some links that have kept me sane during the process:
Positively Present’s Dani DiPirro wrote this fine piece, “10 Things Happy People Don’t Do” for livehappy.com. Don’t get stuck in a negativity trap.
“Happiness is not a
goal or a dream, it is a state of mind” is the first of “Eight Forgotten Truths About Happiness.”
Check out the simple pleasures in “23 Ways to Treat Yo’self Without Buying or Eating Anything.”
This story cracked me up: an online poll to name a new polar
research ship in Britain results in a hilarious choice. While the research
vessel won’t be named Boaty McBoatface, one of its remotely operated sub-sea vehicles will be.
For those of you navigating midlife with me, this thought-provoking post by
author Brene Brown notes that midlife is not about answers, it’s about living
the questions.
Lucky or unlucky, today is Friday the 13th. Check out these 13 fun facts about the day.
I’ve spent far too much time giggling at the antics of Simon’s
Cat:
OK, back to the chaos. Hope you have a very happy (and
lucky) Friday!
