I found the following Lifehack.org article on Lori’s blog the other day and thought it was worth reprinting here, if only as an easy-access reminder for myself. But I also thought most people would relate to it – there are at least a couple habits here that feel very true for me. I wasn’t sure whether to post this here or on nothing ventured …
in the end I posted it on both because, although it may get more response here initially, it’s more likely to stay at the top of the page at the other place (for easy reference).

Many of our problems come from within our own minds. They aren’t caused by events, bad luck, or other people. We cause them through our own poor mental habits. Here are 10 habits you should set aside right away to free yourself from the many problems each one will be causing you.

    . . . but in a nice way.

Got back from Lisbon about two hours ago. Earlier today we both felt we weren’t quite ready to come back but as soon as we got in the door it felt good to be home again. First item on the agenda was to make a huge fuss over the cats. Well, cat – Azar still isn’t speaking to us, but Sunny greeted us in his lovable doggy manner as soon as we came in and has been demanding constant attention ever since. I reckon Azar will forgive us and come for a cuddle once we get into bed.

Aside from feeling totally knackered I’m also feeling very happy about our trip – it was the best holiday yet. Quite different from Barcelona in that Lisbon really felt like ‘home’ almost as soon as we arrived. And four days wasn’t nearly enough.

Anyhow, I’ve got close to 400 photos to sort through and upload, as well as coming up with an edited version of the daily notes I wrote.

But right now I really need to sleep. So hasta mañana . . .
