If only I could stop bumping......

Was sent this by a colleague on Friday as we'd been talking, in a team meeting, about quality versus quantity or speed. I liked it and thought I'd share.

"Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it."

AA Milne, Winnie the Pooh

Silver Lining

I got sent a lovely little book from my even lovelier daughter this week. It's packed full of sayings and proverbs which have made me smile (probably why it was sent my way) but how often can we recall that perfect inspirational quote on cue? Well for me, its rarely! 

I'm a visual learner so diagrams, colour and pictures always help. I've decided to post my favourite's with an accompanying visual aid/photograph to help with that perfect recall.


I'm calling the series 'Silver Linings' and in keeping with the title, my philosophy and blog, here is my first.

Every cloud has a silver lining
