M is for Memo to Me


MEMO

To: Me

From: Me

Date: 15 April 2015

Subject: Self love


This memo serves as written notification that it’s absolutely totally utterly completely wholly OK to cut yourself some slack from time to time. Repeatedly beating yourself up about every little thing should stop immediately. It’s silly. It’s pointless. It achieves nothing. Please cease and desist before you self-destruct
Appropriate alternative action could be to indulge in:
1.     a bit of bad mum dancing
2.     attempted middle-aged twerking
3.     singing along at peak volume with a song such as the sample below
4.     random acts of huggingness
5.     having a crack at taking less tragic selfies than the one above

Please note that all above substitute actions are also silly, pointless and achieve nothing but will not cause you to self-destruct.

Song of the Day: The awesomely beautiful and talented Betty Who —who, despite having lived in New York for more than five years, still has pure Aussie vowels—Love love love this girl. I dare you not to at least toe-tap along with Somebody Loves You. (2014)



Question of the Day: What's your current go-to sing-along song?

    Wendy, none of the above alternate actions are silly or pointless. In fact, they give immense happiness to the soul! I, too, indulge in such actions from time to time, esp. the singing and hugging part. It feels so good! :-)

      I guess the fact that they're silly actually IS their point, isn't it Shilpa!

      My daughter was horrified that I would post it... she;s 14... I'm 56... Therein lies the difference in attitude to public image.

    Very good! I was currently beating myself up over my lack of progress with my chores today. Now I don't care and I'm going to dance around the kitchen. Thank you!

    I love your selfie by the way! Hey a bit of twerking is fine but watch that back!
    My feel- good song is still 'Happy' by Pharrell. I haven't got sick of it yet.

      LOL... last year when we were in London there was a building site down the road with a sign out the front counting the number of days they'd gone without hearing that song.... hilarious... I still love it too.

      like most of us, i hate having my photo taken... and I'm a total shocker at taking selfies... my daughter despairs... but I like seeing pics of the bloggers I'm meeting so i thought I'd return the "favour".

    Technically we can't twerk in this house because it is a Cyrus-free zone.
    That is a crazy selfie, but you actually look about 30 years old.

      Well surely the non-twerking regulation can be broken when the kiddy police are at school.
      30! OMG GET NEW GLASSES
