Thoughtful Tuesday

To live content with small means: to see seek elegance rather than luxury and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think quietly. Talk gently, act frankly… to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never…this is my symphony.
-William Henry Channing

Good news for my friends- one dear friend received good health news this week and another is finally able to move into her new house (the couple selling it turned out to be absolute nightmares). I’m so grateful for being surrounded by thoughtful, intelligent, fun, kind people so I love hearing when good things happen to them.

Cute…Escape

A short Tilt list this week because I’ve just remembered its Thursday but I haven’t written one for a few weeks and really wanted to. I know its cliché but sometimes it really it is good to stop and smell the flowers.

Getting nine hours of sleep- I was so grateful this week to get a proper nights shut-eye especially after my insomnia resurfacing over the last couple of weeks so I’ve been running on half that for the past two weeks.

Living my life as a party instead of a drama-
Evenings with friends filled with wine & giggles, cocktails and surprise meals out

Sweet phone calls, text messages, and voicemails- Psst Yen thank you

Being uber productive-
I’ve been able to tick all the items off my ‘work’ to-do list this week and I’m especially pleased by how well the first week of our newest venture Youth Church* went
*It's technically called a cell-church but I hate that term.

Other frivolous things:

The new Rice Krispies multigrain shapes advert- It’s entitled ‘The fish’


Happy Birthday Agatha Christie
The perfect excuse to slip a Christie off the shelf, brew a pot of tea and travel in spirit to a vintage world of murder and mystery

This very cute short film with Lee Ingleby and Charity Wakefield via future shorts
Yes that is my tumblr, I’ve been experimenting with it for a month or so, I like to think of it as all the shiny bits of my main blog, with none of the hassle of having to use your brain.

Television:
Doctor Who is back
Also I’m excited for the return of Downton Abbey on Sunday but a little disappointed that the BBC have decided to schedule the final series of Spooks up against it.

Well this post turned out longer than I anticipated... still its alwaays nice to have lots to love. Over to you reader, what are you loving this week?

The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.
