:: I am ENFP and proud
Guess who? After reading how Rhys perceived me recently it has led me to a bit of self-reflection over the last few days. The problem is whilst I know who I am, I’m maybe not always 100% sure what I am! That makes no sense I know, so I put the question to my close friend and work colleague Steve and asked him how he views me, who he thinks I am and what drives me. Steve is an interesting...
Read More#37 Own a camper van
Most boys probably dream of owning a camper van at some point and the neverendinglist would not be complete without the addition of a quest to have my own little house on wheels with the freedom to travel and roam from home. Material possessions are not high on the agenda these days unless they value to life in terms of smiles. Whether or not I ever achieve the boyhood dream of hitting the road...
Read More:: A child’s eyes
Seeing the world through a child’s eyes. The school books have made it home for the summer and after a cursory glimpse through the mountain of work that the boys have churned out this academic year I stumbled across this picture in Rhys’s ‘About Me’ book. It caught me completely off guard as I glanced at the words accompanying the simple sketch below the title of...
Read More#47 Start a club
It’s fair to say that I’m a bit of an ideas man. Others may see me as a daydreamer, but it is also inherent in my make-up that I truly believe dreams can turn into reality if they can be harnessed with desire and partnered with determination. Ideas pop in and out of my head on a daily basis, most are forgotten about as quickly as they came, some lie dormant waiting to grow and others...
Read More:: Inspiration
A busy couple of weeks has meant the neverendinglist has turned into a bit of a stopystartylist recently and I guess I’ve been needing some inspiration to get it moving again. The thing I’ve found with inspiration is that it doesn’t always come from within and sometimes moments or others inspire us. Nothing can empasize this more than the simple sheet of handwriting that came...
Read More#201 Finding Arnoldo Jerkin
Whilst I’m probably reaching that time in life when I need to find myself, current commitments prohibit me from heading off to travel the world on a voyage of self discovery and to be honest I’m kinda happy with the person I am already. Things have got a bit heavy around here recently with Scrap Dog’s health issues and talk of personal finance so it’s time to lighten the...
Read More:: Man’s best friend
Today, the boys and I took Scrap Dog to the beach. Nothing exceptional in that as we’ve been many times before. But today it was so much more than just a trip to the beach. Three weeks ago I took Scrappy to the vet for a check up after he’d lost his bark and usual zest for life. Although I don’t speak Dog and Scraps struggles with English we’ve always been able to...
Read More:: The big picture
I put this little post-it note up about 6 months ago and it has sat there taped to the kitchen wall ever since. These little notes have become synonymous with the neverendinglist and are dotted around the house forming some sort of massive notepad as I pen ideas in moments of inspiration. The problem is I’ve been struggling with inspiration for a picture fitting to adorn the wall in its...
Read More#61 Carry no personal debt
What I have got, I have got. What I have not, I have not. Sunday gone I was lucky enough to have a piece I wrote featured on the personal finance website Get Rich Slowly* and it is something I am proud of if I’m honest. Whilst the neverendinglist is all about my journey through life, I have also been on a financial journey for the last few years after seeing the light in no uncertain...
Read More#142 Run 100 miles
One day I may run 100 miles in one go, but for the time being to knock off #142 on the list I’m going to harness the power of people and embrace the school of mathematics. Unfortunately I’m no Pythagoras, but I have come up with my own theorem to help with this challenge and whilst mine may be of little use to confirm the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle this...
