Good Karma

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.
