Beginning of fall

toriauru 17/09/2019 0 Comments

It’s been a hot summer here in Quebec with little rain. I like to have the windows open when I can, getting in the fresh air. I feel so fortunate to live in a part of the country that has wonderfully fresh clean air. No smog, no pollution and little car traffic where I live….

My lifestyle experiment results

toriauru 27/04/2018 0 Comments

As per Anthony’s post hereĀ on lifestyle experiments I’d like to report on mine. I purposefully set out to not log onto two other accounts that are available to me with Battle.net for Blizzard games. I was using one account to do Hearthstone on the 2nd account and do some dailies on World of Warcraft on…

Happiness vs contentment

toriauru 27/04/2018 0 Comments

This post on Messy Minimalist’s blog had me thinking into the night. I didn’t have that good a night’s sleep unfortunately. Anyhow here are my thoughts on the subject. Happiness is supposed to be the goal of a lot of us, right? Sounds easy enough, right? Be happy, like the song says. But for how…

Gord Downie died last night

toriauru 18/10/2017 0 Comments

It’s a sad day when you wake up and a Canadian icon, legend, hero, musical talent, well known philanthropist, activist – so many ways he could be described – has passed away. It wasn’t unexpected due to him having brain cancer but still it was sad. At 53 years of age. With music left in…

A day of happiness and tears of sadness

toriauru 16/10/2017 0 Comments

Today started off with some happiness and yet with some worry. My older cat Muffin hasn’t been eating very much at all lately and we were worried about her. So we called and made an appointment at the vet clinic to take her in in the afternoon. But in the morning we had a lovely…

Saw my niece and her daughters today

I saw my niece and her two young daughters today for the first time in a long time. It was so nice to see her again. She’s in her thirties now and her daughters are 5 and just about 3 years old. Very busy little girls. So wonderfully cute. Completely fluent in English and Czech….

10 things you didn’t know about me.

toriauru 12/10/2017 0 Comments

Well, decided to do a 10 things you didn’t know about me. Likely, anyhow, if you don’t talk to me on a regular basis. I took a scuba diving course and am a certified diver. I don’t use the certification however as I’m scared of the dark water in Canada and it’s so damn cold….

Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada

toriauru 08/10/2017 0 Comments

Well, it’s here. The beautiful Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Where we get to give thanks, collectively, for all that we have. We went over to my parent’s condo and on the way picked up dinner at the store that we’d ordered it from. Put the pre-cooked turkey on to reheat in the oven. Then Tim…

Saw an interesting thoughtful talk on Youtube

toriauru 03/10/2017 0 Comments

The transformative power of walking, a TED talk. Quite interesting and thoughtful that simply creating a walkable neighbourhood, area, street, city can be so transformative in so many ways. The simple act of walking has so much power when you stop and think about it. Not only is it good for your body, your mind,…

Some quotes I quite like

Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece after all. Nathan Morris

The first step to getting what you want is having the courage to get rid of what you don’t.

Never underestimate the importance of abandoning crap you don’t need.

Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from it. Joshua Becker

Flawed and fabulous. Because perfect is a myth and normal is boring. Fuckology

Unfollow anyone – on social media or in real life – who doesn’t make you feel inspired, empowered, or informed.
