I understand your not wanting to put on the Cinderella garb. It's not for everyone. But like how you have things that are not fun but still enjoyable, the stuff that is not fun and never will be, if it is a necessary evil, you can probably find your own unique way of making it more bearable. That's all I really meant by Cinderella impression. .-= Eleanor Edwards´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GiveABrick/~3/5eNVkKHCysg/" rel="nofollow">Wednesday Warmer: A letter to God</a> =-.

I remember the Mary poppins film and the longest word ever, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Can you say it backwards? I bet it beats a lot of those long and well known Welsh words. Your 3 simple steps; look for the person, make someone smile and do the small things are so accurate for dealing with our daily behaviours. A great strategy! Then you finish your post with a mention of Monty Pythons; utterly mad people but a great show I remember so well and with fond memories. Thank you for sharing this post.

I make a contest with myself on routine things to do them better or faster. I also like the Monty Python idea but what I like is seeing things in a different way than they were intended and asking an odd question that people arnt expecting. I’m like Lee.
