@Tim – Once again you have manage to tickle our funny bones and teach us a valuable lesson at the same time. How is the launch coming along? It will be tomorrow right?

The smell was too much with me on this non-fantasy! I just focused on the abundance of the hedgerows and the beauty of the sheep on rolling hills and found that the castle’s were gloriously full of musty, dusty smells which were fair superior!

thank you for replying to my comment – I appreciated it!

@ Daniel – The ‘soft’ launch of the book is 9/22 with the full launch about 2 weeks later. Always looking for affiliates!

Thanks for dropping by.

@ Patricia – Ouch, sounds like that wasn’t exactly imagined!

I’ll add one to the list. Sit on a tour bus in a foreign country in front of a older couple who complain about everything, wrap up their food in napkins and eat tiny bits of it all day, and never say thank you, or please or really have anything nice to say at all.

After 12 days realize that they have not changed their clothing or showered on the entire trip and finally the sun is warming everything up…

It could make you poor and miserable if you were not carefully working on your wealth and happiness

This is simply hilarious! Oh my, if there’s people following tip #1 after reading your blog… Why not I should become the next billionaire prince from some foreign land unheard of by anyone, and start sending out such letters to my hand-picked lottery winners?!

Hmm. That was a whole lot of visualization there trying to think up a nasty scheme *grins*.

When’s your book gonna be done? :)

@ Jade – I like your attitude! Rich and happy is a state of mind. I know lots of wealthy people that are poor when it comes to enjoying life.

@ Chris – I know mate, I’m a Brit and I hate warm beer, but real ale is usually served at cellar temperature and until a decade or so ago that was the beer of choice for many people.

i don’t get this misconception that brits like warm beer…

beer should be ice cold, straight out of the fridge, with ice crystalizing on the side of the tin!

Amusing post. Especially as I do live in poverty and am clinically depressed :P

But I do agree with the basis of the post (I think) is that it is all mindset. In my mind, I’m not rich, but I can afford all the basics. I can even afford to invest in bettering my life, and even have fun.

Also I know my mood is often affected by my illness – so I’m usually quite content.

The really ironic thing is I see so many people who are so much better off than me who really play the victim of being poor and unhappy. In many cases, both of those are a choice and I choose not to be a victim.

Apologies for the ramble – thanks for the chuckle this morning!
