Good Karma

I’m going through a classical stage hearing Clint Mansell’s Lux Aeterna and I was thinking back to all the small introductions that I have enjoyed through my life so far of traditional or off the wall music.

I’m not into opera my regular musical pallet is rock, but I have been to see one opera so far in my life which was Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore.
It wasn’t my cuppa tea at all mainly because it’s out dated which then lead me to wonder if there is any modern opera out there in the world, then I remembered the Blue Diva from the movie 5th Element starring Bruce Willis

Was listening to some classical music when me and my hubby got to talking about our favourite classical music and my hubby mentioned he got into classical music from watching Bugs Bunny cartoons when he was a child.

We got to reminiscing about our favourite Warner Brothers Cartoons when we remembered the Rabbit of Seville was one of our favourite cartoons as children.

We also loved Ride of the Valkyries with Elmer Fudd singing Kill Da Wabbit, but I couldn’t find a video on line to put on my website

Were huge fans of Animation from Warner Brothers to modern day movies like Shrek, but I have to say Cartoon today are rubbish compared to the simple cartoons from Warner in the 1950’s which are hilarious.

I’ve just discovered this great piece of music.

I LOVE IT!!

My eldest son told me about it today, he sent me the link below from Uni.

A really passionate piece of music. listening to Lux Aeterna made my day!

If you ever read this thanks son

Like all good Brits I love a cup of tea (or a cuppa/brew as it’s known to use )

I’ve Just discovered a new tea from twining called Rose Garden and it is delicious

It has a beautiful rose aroma and tastes like Turkish delight which I love, I’ve been snuggling up every evening with a cup of Twining Rose Garden since I brought it home from the shop, but it’s a limited addition so I’m off out today to see if there’s any left in the shop and I can stock up on this wonderful tea

We’re having a long cold winter this year in the UK which means we can’t get out much, so my son and I have decided to take up Poi.

We were introduced to poi last summer at a circus skills workshop. Poi is the art of swinging two balls on string in a controlled manner while doing tricks.

I’ve included a YouTube video of someone doing fire poi (obviously we aren’t using fire poi to learn ) to explain what poi is.

Poi looks easy, but is isn’t and takes a lot of practise and patience. My hubby naively thought poi was easy after watching me and my son and decided to show us how it was done, after smacking himself in the head a few times he decided to leave it to us

I received Just Dance for the Wii through the post today, so I eagerly tidied up and while it was snowing outside my window I was dancing away in my living room with my son, we had a right laugh at each others expense

One of the best Wii games we own, we had lots of fun and got plenty of exercise.

We played Just Dance for 2 hours straight doing moves I haven’t done in years, I was having so much fun I almost forgot I had a family to look after OOPS! had to stop and feed the family when their stomachs started rumbling, but every mum should be allowed to have a little bit of fun once in a while, I think I’ll be playing this Wii game for quite some time to come.

My New Year resolution for 2010 is to start a blog capturing happy moments in my life no matter how small.

I decided to start the Happy People Good Karma Blog so I could jot down all the happy moments you get in a single day, whether it’s something small like drinking a hot coffee snuggled up on the couch or something big like a fabulous birthday that you never want to end.

I’m writing this blog primarily for myself to generate good karma, so I don’t forget the little things in life that make you smile, but I also hope others will be able to take comfort and appreciate the little happy moments in their life too. Lets face it the human race has a nasty habit of looking on life and only seeing the negative and remembering the bad stuff, and the small happy stuff gets filed under the mundane.
